What's on everyone's menu for tonight?
We're leaving Portland this a.m. and will be in Medford for dinner with madmax, so don't know what's on the menu forus.
We had a ball yesterday - I googled to see where I could get a crab po'boy and one of the places that came up was EaT OYSTER BAR, so we headed there for brunch. As we came into sight of the place there were three big smokers out front on the sidewalk, smokin' away sending the most wonderful smells into the neighborhood.

As we went thru the front door, dixieland hit us in the face played by three scruffy looking musicians and we found our feet and hands stomping and clapping immediately!
And don't you love the band's name - Reggie Houston’s Box of Chocolates featuring Turtle Vandamar & Tim Acott
The tables were full, so we headed for the bar and had Bloody Marys (excellent, by the way) and then finally got a table. Besides anticipating the po'boy, I was so excited to see Biegnets on the menu with a bourbon sauce. I didn't get a picture of them, we all just scarfed those down immediately and were they ever good!!
I don't know the correct or accepted shape for these, when I've made them, I just dropped a 'glop' of dough in the fat and they were balls, but these were oval shaped and flat on the top and bottom. Anyone know if this is the correct way? And, if so, my batter must have been looser than theirs. Whatever, they were delicious!!
The boys both drooled over Hangtown Fry on them menu, it so seldom is offered anymore, and they order this -
Oh man, this was the best Hangtown Fry I've ever tasted and we've had them in Truckee and Placerville where they were 'invented'!!
I finally got to taste a softshelled crab and a po'boy at the same time - have never had either. Well, gotta say the sandwich was 'running down your arm' good, but I do prefer Dungeness crab.
For those who have had these, is this what they look like when served back in Po'boy country?? The fries must have been cooked in the same oil as the crab and oysters, 'cause they were just delicious. (Oh, speaking of oysters, we also had to try an Oyster shooter which almost put us under the table!!
But, I'm glad I tried one finally. On the menu for lunch/dinner, they offer CATFISH PO'BOYS, so you know we're stopping there on our way back up north to have one of those bad boys.
Then we headed back to Don's and played with his stir-fry book and tasted some wines. Fun day.

Retired and having fun writing cookbooks, tasting wine and sharing recipes with all my friends.
