New Orleans-Inspired Seafood Boil Coming To Doylestown Restaurant

DOYLESTOWN, PA — Maxwell's On Main (MOM's) shakes up the typical Oktoberfest offerings with a traditional New Orleans-inspired seafood boil, southern cocktails, and a brass band.

The afternoon festivities called "Boil & Brass" kick off at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 17. Advanced tickets are strongly encouraged by the restaurant and include a 1 1/2 pound serving of gulf shrimp, andouille sausage, corn, and potatoes (with an addition of blue crab for $18), a complimentary southern-inspired dessert, and a show.

Philadelphia-based brass band, Street Beans, add heaps of extra spice to the festivities.

"There's nothing better than sharing great food and music with the entire neighborhood," says Nathan Hugill, co-owner of Maxwell's On Main. He continues, "This something we've been wanting to do for a long time, and we hope to turn it into a new tradition."

The event also pays tribute to part of Executive Chef Robert Marchesano's extensive background. Though he started cooking with his grandmother in Brooklyn when he was 6 years old, he's been working in kitchens since he was 16. His first "real" kitchen job was in New Orleans after graduating from the Culinary Institute of America.

The multi-level bar and restaurant has opened daily for imbibing, dining, and live events since 2010. Just last week, they launched their new fall lunch and dinner menu which includes new spins on American classics such as short rib, smash burgers, and southern flared jambalaya.

Maxwell's On Main is located at 37 North Main Street in Doylestown. More information about this event and more can be found at momsdoylestown.com/live-events
