Lucius Boomer: Crab Rangoon

Lucius Boomer was known for its Crab Rangoon appetizer. Owner John Clark would give out the recipe, cautioning, "Just make sure when you get to the second thing on the recipe you put in there what it says to put in there. And it's crabmeat. Put the crabmeat in the Rangoon. OK? You gotta put crabmeat in there."
