Half Shell Oysters
Ayk is a huge fan of oysters on the half shell. I like them mostly as an excuse to use hot sauce. We wanted to check out Acme Oyster House, featured on Man Vs. Food, but the line had 20-30 people outside of the door. Pass. We went to Bourbon House - right next door with no line.
Oysters from San Antonio Bay with another Abita beer.
French Quarter at Night
Walking back from Bourbon House to our car, we saw a few interesting sites on Duval Street.
St. Louis Cathedral at night. Almost looks like the Disney castle.
Almost walked right past this until Ayk pointed it out. Given my predilection to all things shiny, I'm surprised he noticed it before I did. A few dollars worth of pennies glued to a crumbling curb on Duval Street.
Po' Boys
We wanted to get some po'boys at Dick and Jenny’s, but they did not serve them for dinner, and there was also a two-hour wait. They recommended we try Franky and Johnny’s not too far away.
Ayk enjoying some gator nuggets, which tasted just like chicken nuggets. Trust me, we're not just saying that; they really do taste just like chicken.
Shrimp and oyster po’boys. Pretty damn delicious.
Recipe for homemade cocktail sauce: ketchup, horseradish sauce, lemon, Tabasco, salt and pepper.
Frenchmen Street (Revisited)
With a long drive to southern Florida the next day, we couldn’t stay out late that night. We decided to take it easy and headed back to Maison on Frenchmen Street to avoid drunken masses we saw on Bourbon Street earlier.
A lively caravan of partiers dancing on the street. Yes, there are drunk people on Frenchmen Street; they're just less annoying.
The lead from Booty Trove on Friday night was also the lead of another band playing Saturday night. We even bought their CD. Clearly, we're pretty big fans.
