Whatever day planner chef Jason Dady uses to juggle multiple restaurants, we want in. The San Antonio celebrity chef is launching CrawDady at The Rock at La Cantera on February 21, adding to an already stacked list of new and upcoming concepts.<\/p>\n
The spring pop-up at Frost Plaza will serve made-to-order catfish boils in four flavors: dry Cajun, featuring a signature spice blend; wet Cajun, with butter and Frank\u2019s Red Hot, and a secret seasoning; Viet-Cajun, with ginger, lemongrass, and \u201cFunky Butter\u201d; and Italian garlic herb.<\/p>\n
The shareable sides take their cues from classic Southern fare. Bites include boudin balls with a grain mustard remoulade, boudin sausage links, and jalape\u00f1o-white Cheddar hushpuppies topped with Kewpie mayo and lime. For brisker days, guests will want to dive into the chicken and sausage gumbo served over bay leaf rice.<\/p>\n
Dady will kick off CrawDaddy with an all-day party on January 21, starting at 1 pm. The event will feature live music from Aaron Montano-Teague, refreshments, and a San Antonio Spurs vs. Sacramento Kings watch party at 7 pm. Dady\u2019s other Rock concepts, Lil\u2019 Bros BBQ Shack, Ice Ice Dady, and Roca & Martillo, will also be dishing out treats. Entry and parking are free.<\/p>\n
CrawDady adds to the growing list of concepts under the chef\u2019s name. In addition to opening Lil\u2019 Bros<\/a> and Ice Ice Dady<\/a> in 2025, Dady also revived his Umai Mi<\/a> concept, reinventing the restaurant into a quick-service stand at Pearl\u2019s Bottling Department food hall.<\/p>\n
