One of the foods synonymous with the city of New Orleans is crawfish, which just happens to be a Holy Week staple as well.

Owner Justin LeBlanc of Bevi Seafood Company expects to go through about 6,000 pounds of these small succulent seafood delights — even during a lockdown.

We made it drive-through.”
