Hollywood Stars Get Crabs at Wango Tango
Harbour House invited to serve Maryland Blue Crabs to top Wango Tango performers.
Harrisburg, PA (PRWEB) June 1, 2005 -- Celebrities lined up in droves to get
crabs this past month at Wango Tango in Anaheim, California. The annual music
festival at Angel Stadium drew a big crowd, even bigger names, and a select
number of invitation-only vendors to feed them. Among them was Harbour House
Crabs, seafood specialists known for catering to the stars. "We've been
fortunate enough to be featured in Food & Wine Magazine recently, and now
this invitation to serve the Black Eyed Peas, Jennifer Lopez, Kelly Clarkson,
and all the other great talent, is just amazing" states Harbour House owner Curt
Engle.
Harbour House, known for overnight delivery of Maryland Blue Crabs
and other seafood specialties, has grown exponentially since opening five years
ago. "People in this area just love their Blue Crabs and I saw an opportunity to
ship them to 'expatriates' who had moved out of the area and longed for the
taste of Maryland Blue Crabs" Engle continues. But the love of crabs proved
bigger than just former Marylanders. Word of the site, and the ability to ship
fresh crabs overnight, caused a minor sensation in many circles. "We developed
the tag line 'Make any occasion a special occasion' because customers were
ordering our Blue Crabs in place of traditional gourmet cuisine such as lobsters
and filets. It's just something different".
Ryan Cabrera even sported an
"I got crabs at Wango Tango" T-shirt after sampling the fare. Engle has served
other celebrities on his clientele list who he insists on keeping anonymous but
also rave about the taste and quality of the Maryland Crabs.
"We've had a
lot of fun with our "Get a case of crabs" theme" Engle continued. The irreverent
tag line has earned a bit of controversy but also generated attention to the
growing popularity of eating this delicacy. In addition to Maryland Crabs,
Harbour House ships soft shell crabs, jumbo crab cakes, jumbo shrimp and all the
accessories for cracking, eating and enjoying a seafood meal.
When asked
if he would be attended more celebrities bashes, Engle only mentioned he had
other requests under consideration. According to Engle, the more famous you are,
the more you want crabs.
