Want a seafood boil to go? This popular Phoenix restaurant is back for a weekend pop-up

FIRST BITE: Phoenix chef goes from jobless to instant soul food success

A finger-lickin' seafood boil may look a little different during a pandemic, but fortunately you can still create that experience at home in all its messy glory.

Little Cleo's Seafood Legend returns for another pop-up event Aug. 15-16 at The Yard in uptown Phoenix, The Sam Fox restaurant closed in May 2018 and was known for its oyster bar, grilled fish and absinthe happy hour.

Fans got to relive some of their memories on April 25 when the seafood restaurant was resurrected for a Cajun shrimp boil, take-away style. Now Little Cleo's is back for round two, this time with to-go cocktails.

"With everything going on, we’re hoping to bring a little fun to your home with a checkered tablecloth, bibs and messy great food," Fox said in a statement in April.
