It would really get interesting if they put on some Eminem. Another fun event occurs when someone is celebrating a birthday or some special occasion. When the servers aren't participating in all the fun, they are efficiently bringing large quantities of seafood favorites to the table. Joe's Crab Shack Regional Chef Waldo Leyva said the restaurant's purveyors get most of their Dungeness crab from the Pacific Northwest. You can have the crab barbecued or steamed, but I'd suggest the garlic version.
Whole garlic is chopped in the skin and added to water, along with olive oil, salt and black pepper.
The crab is cooked in the broth and served with parsley potatoes and drawn butter. The potatoes are red skin potatoes that are cut into pieces, steamed until al dente and mixed with butter, parsley, onion powder and other spices. It's cut on the premises, dipped into egg wash and then dredged in flour seasoned with onion powder, garlic powder, red pepper and paprika. It's deep-fried in canola oil and served with a marinara sauce made for Joe's that contains fresh tomatoes, tomato paste, onions, olive oil, sugar, salt and garlic powder. It comes already breaded from a purveyor, and it's also fried in canola oil and served with the marinara sauce.
