122. New Orleans does it best?

Sat Mar 15, 2014, 06:52 PM

Mar 2014

I suppose, if you think Disneyland does New Orleans best, too. Plastic, fake, tourist-trappy bullshit ain't "best."

And as for cooking up the crustaceans? Sure, I'll bring it. And once you taste it, you will ALWAYS want me to bring it and cook it . Especially crab. Crab directly out of the Gulf and boiled whole ... yum, yum, yum yum.

And raw oysters ... oooo! Yum x 100.

You have no idea how much I miss blue crab. Up here we have dungeness, but it's just not the same... and have you ever tried to explain a soft-shell crab poboy to someone who has no concept of such a thing?

Raw oysters are great... but... i have to give the award to the oysters I got out of Tillamook bay down in Oregon.
