$15 Deal: Bayou’s crawfish basket
The Crawfish Basket from Bayou Bar & Grill is piled high with plump, shelled crawfish that are lightly seasoned, battered and fried, all on a bed of seasoned fries. While cocktail sauce is the traditional condiment route, it's Bayou's house-made honey mustard sauce that makes the dish sing. (Ellen Chamberlain/The Daily Memphian)
