Went for a 2lb. lunch yesterday just to 'check in' on the classic. I went in with an open mind, but my suspicions were right:\n\nThe most inconsistently-sized shrimp and crawfish of it's kind in Vegas. If you order a bag of shrimp here you WILL get some tiny runts, and over half of my shrimp's heads had fallen off by themselves in the bag, a telltale sign of non-freshness. And, this place serves up consistently stingy portions - I'm convinced that they weigh the sauce when they weigh your 1lb. bag of food. The sauce is not as good as I remember, and though I have fond memories of this chain from years past, I feel like Hot N Juicy has become the Pho Kim Long / Lotus Of Siam of seafood-in-a-bag joints. Popular because of public relations, not because the food is great. Hot N Juicy's food is no longer made with love. You get a sense that the bottom line is king here. More profits = more PR budget = more TV exposure = more first-time customers = more profits. Sad. One day Robin Leach will be Hot N Juicy's only customer, and he'll expect to eat for free, because that's how he rolls.\n\nSo, where to go for cajun seafood-in-a-bag?\n\nCravin' Cajun is SO much more consistent, the crawfish are huge and the shrimp are ALL 10-15 count (and you get 16-20 in a 1lb. bag!). All of your shrimp heads will be intact, and the sauce at Cravin' Cajun is straight-up tastier. Please, if you only have time for one of these joints, try Cravin' Cajun. If you have time for two, try Hot N Juicy so you can make your own judgement. If you can't already tell, I am passionate about this subject.
