| Louisiana Crawfish comes
Back to Downtown Orlando Every Tuesday Remember back in the 1990’s when you could go downtown to Church Street on Tuesdays and eat Louisiana Crawfish at Sloppy Joes during their Fat Tuesday Happy Hour and enjoy your fill in Louisiana crawfish and do so every Tuesday during the crawfish season? Those were the days! Well, Sloppy Joes have since folded and crawfish every Tuesday went by the wayside downtown. Church Street has worn many faces over the years and continues to do so. Good crawfish seemed to be a thing of the past. One thing that hasn’t changed since the early 1990’s is the Central Florida Rajuncajun Crawfish Festival that enters its 19th year April 19, 2008. This event started in my back yard in 1989 in Isle of Pines across from Moss Park and quickly evolved to the annual festival that it is today. This festival is produced and catered by our company; the Crawfish Company Of Central Florida, Inc. It is the annual fund raiser for the Isle of Pines Property Owners Association. 500 tickets went on sale this year January 15, 2008 and were sold out by 2:45 PM the same day. It sounds like we still have some serious crawfish eaters in the central Florida area. Well folks, the owners of Cottage Irish Pubs Inc. and the Crawfish Company Of Central Florida, Inc. have expanded and added a third corporation called the Cajun Paddy Inc. doing business as the Harp and Celt Restaurant and Irish Pub. We opened for business in the historic district of downtown Orlando at 25 South Magnolia Avenue on August 15, 2007. The Louisiana influence mixed with the Irish influence along with quality home cooked food prepared with tender loving care and good service creates an atmosphere that is second to none. We are bringing the tradition of eating Louisiana crawfish every Tuesday during happy hour back to downtown Orlando. Starting Tuesday, January 29, 2008 we will be serving our Louisiana Crawfish flown in live and prepared onsite at the Celt Irish Pub. Our seafood division is based just outside MSY in Metairie, Louisiana and yes, we are our own suppliers. You are personally invited to come on down to the Celt Irish Pub every Tuesday in the historic district of downtown Orlando at 25 South Magnolia Avenue and enjoy our Louisiana crawfish from 4 PM until they run out. Cost initially will be $6 per 1 pound, $11.00 for two pound and $25.00 for 5 pounds.. Additionally, you are invited to attend our 1st Annual Fat Tuesday on February 5, 2008 at the Harp and Celt and enjoy some good old fashioned Louisiana cooking as well as our crawfish and drink specials while listening to some great Cajun Zydeco music mixed with some traditional Irish music. Yes, the best of two great cultures. Finally, thank you all for making our dream of opening a restaurant and Irish Pub come true by supporting the Crawfish Company of Central Florida, Inc. over the years by attending one of the most sought after events in Central Florida, The Rajuncajun Crawfish Festival. |
