Episode 392: Generations of Mudbugs
04/07/19 • 66 min
In 1983, L.H. “Hawk” Arceneaux opened his now-famous eponymous restaurant Hawk’s in the “middle of nowhere” just outside Rayne, LA. The specialty of the house? Crawfish! Hawk’s specializes in a technique called “purging” which unmuddies the rich flavor of mudbugs. The restaurant also helped make crawfish popular eating. We catch up with father and daughter Anthony and Megan Arceneaux, the second and third generation of Hawk’s, to find out what makes the family business so special. We pull out one of our favorites band interviews and performances from the vault. In 2012, we met up with one half of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, rock band Ex Cops. We talked about zodiac signs, eating on tour and, of course, had the guys play us some live music.

Episode 391: From the Ground Up
Over the course of 20 or so years in the kitchen, Jeremy Fox has risen to become one of the most celebrated and admired chefs in the industry. Besides overseeing the menus at Santa Monica hotspots Rustic Canyon and Tallula’s, Jeremy’s also working to open his newest restaurant Birdie G’s, and he’s the author of the critically acclaimed cookbook, On Vegetables. We journey into the archives to revisit a performance we recorded with Brooklyn rock trio THICK. At the time, the band had recently been featured in a New York Times round-up of “25 bands that prove women are making the best rock music today,” and we couldn’t have agreed more. THICK recently dropped their latest album, a self-titled EP via legendary independent rock label Epitaph Records.
