The goal of this fest: Win over a panel of judges' hearts (or tastebuds, anyway) with the best batch of crawfish étouffée. Étouffée is Cajun heritage in a bowl, a stew made with a "blonde" roux, crawfish and vegetables, and served over rice. At this 34th annual cook-off, a few lucky competitors are awarded bragging rights, but it just might be hungry festival attendees who are the real winners.
