MEMORIAL — The Houston Chowhounds are hosting a crawfish boil of "epic proportions" with Jim Gossen of Louisiana Foods as a fundraiser and spring membership drive for Foodways Texas. Saint Arnold will be providing the beer and the event will also act as a book launch party for Robb Walsh's new cookbook Texas Eats. Tickets for the March 11 event at Vargos are $20. [Eaterwire]

WASHINGTON AVE — The Counter is offering $50,000 to the person who can correctly predict every Oscar winner in all 24 categories. Enter the contest on their Facebook page by Sunday, Feb. 26. Depending on whether you have a 6th sense about George Clooney, this could be a pretty good way to make a buck. [Eaterwire]
