Episode 392: Generations of Mudbugs

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 394: Finding Your Way

Lien Ta and Chef Jonathan Whitener grew up on opposite coasts, and both came into their hospitality careers from completely different angles. The duo met while working at Los Angeles’ iconic Animal--Lien managing the dining room, and Jonathan holding things down as Chef de Cuisine in the kitchen. In due time, they realized they wanted to eventually own their own place, and so teaming up they opened Here’s Looking At You in 2016. It was an immediate hit winning all kinds of accolades including being named one of Food & Wine’s “Restaurants of the Year.” In 2017, we hosted singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist John Chao. He grew up all over before settling in Houston, which he found to be a nexus of pop, Americana and New Orleans brass band jazz music. Combining his global roots and his American upbringing, John formed the pop band Misha, and performed live for us in studio.
