FYI: Alligator Soul is having a Crawfish boil Saturday April 10 from 11AM-3PM. Make no mistake, if you hate peeling shrimp for a meal, you're not going to like a crawfish boil. However if you love really spicy crawfish and like having a little fun with your food you'll have a good time.

Jenson Button, I'm sorry to hear you had a poor experience. Over seasoning/salting seems to be part of the Southern style of cooking so you either love it or hate it. I remember watching Jamie Oliver's American Roadtrip and he tried to cook a few Southern staples and serve it to the locals, who all told him he didn't season the dishes enough. My opinions on Alligator Soul may sound over enthusiastic simply because I love Southern food and they do it better than anywhere here locally, even more so since Dadeo's closed on Cambie St a couple years ago. If you've ever eaten at Ouisi Bistro (decent) or Big Al's Soul Food (subpar) in Vancouver, you may realize how special Alligator Soul is.
