Jazz Fest is canceled, but cravings for classic Jazz Fest food are not. Many vendors are still cooking, and some are holding special pop-ups just to serve their traditional festival dishes.

The latest is a collaboration that can provide crawfish Monica, crawfish strudel and white chocolate bread pudding for your own stay-at-home Jazz Fest celebrations this weekend and next.

Elmwood-based crawfish Monica maker Big River Foods and Cottage Catering, maker of crawfish strudel and white chocolate bread pudding, are holding the pop-up together at the Mahony’s Original Po-Boys & Seafood location in the French Quarter at 901 Iberville St. (that Mahony's location is closed, while its po-boy shop at 3454 Magazine St. is open for take-out).

Orders for both can be made on the Cottage Catering web site. These pop-ups for distribution will be held Friday, Saturday and Sunday this week and next (April 24-26, May 1-3), from 3-7 p.m. each day.

The dishes will be sold cold for heating at home. Each company also has options to order these dishes in larger quantities for shipping nationally (see kajunkettle.com and cottagecatering.com).

As we reported earlier, a similar pop-up is in the works this weekend for crawfish sacks, oyster patties, crawfish beignets, three flavors that form one of the head-turning combo plates of Jazz Fest.

Longtime festival vendor Patton’s Caterers will sell them direct at its Slidell caterer facility (127 Cleveland Ave. Slidell) on Friday and Saturday (April 24, 25), from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The dishes will be sold individually and as combination plates. You can order the day of at Patton's or order ahead by email at JazzFestToGo2020@pattons.com.

Vaucresson Sausage Co., which has served its sausage po-boys since the first Jazz Fest, is now working on a plan to distribute sausage direct to local customers. Details are still taking shape.

The food at Jazz Fest has a special role in the event. Local food vendors return year after year, almost always serving the same time-tested dishes, creating a framework for relationships and rituals. People have made these dishes their own, incorporating them into their Jazz Fest planning and anticipation as much as any particular act on stage.

With the festival canceled this year by the coronavirus crisis, you can find some Jazz Fest classics via restaurant takeout, special orders shipped to your door or, in a few cases, in local groceries. Here’s our round up on different ways to connect with them.
