Others Do This??

[cjs]

I love to read descriptions of foods offered - either from menus or from websites listing different offerings around the country. This morning on a email from somewhere these were talked about.

I would love to make all of these - and with the descriptions, I'm thinking it would not be difficult at all.

Deviled Egg Oysters at The Grocery, Charleston, SC

Deviled eggs are having a moment on bar menus. This must-try variation turns the classic inside-out: hardboiled egg purée and a crispy cornmeal-encrusted oyster are plated on top of spicy “deviled egg sauce.” Bread-and-butter pickles balanced on top deliver refreshing tang and crunch to each bite.
4 Cannon St., Charleston; 843-302-8825


Nacho Mama’s Oysters at MAX’s Wine Dive, Chicago

Take a moment to digest these two words: oyster. Nachos. Oh yes: fried Gulf Coast oysters on wonton “chips,” plus garlic aïoli, habanero salsa and cilantro. Executive chef Jessica Brumleve describes the nachos as "the perfect bite: you get sweet, saltiness from the oyster; spiciness from the habanero salsa; rich, creaminess from the garlic aïoli; and loads of crunch from the wonton ‘chips.’”
1482 N. Milwaukee Ave., Chicago; 773-661-6581

Buffalo Fried Oysters With Corn Pudding at Sekund Sun, Queens, NY

Forget Buffalo wings: at this Queens outpost known for comfort food, cornmeal-fried oysters are smothered in buttermilk and Buffalo-style hot sauce. Those spicy little nuggets are delivered atop sweet-and-savory corn pudding scented with tarragon and thyme.
32-11 Broadway, Queens, NY; 917-832-6414

they all sound so good!

The last one, for sure! YUM!

[Harborwitch]

Those do sound good. I am not a fan of "cooked" oysters - but the cornmeal crusted oysters intrigue me. I am giving tonight's dinner some thought. It will depend on how beat I am after work.

I shall leave the oysters to you all.

I tried fried oysters once at the famous LA Farmer's Market on Fairfax and I had to spit it out. It was just horrible.

But put 2 dozen raw oysters with some cocktail sauce and fresh horseradish in front of me and I'm your girl. LOL.

And I'm with Trixxee!!

Barbara~~~doesn't even need cocktail sauce or horseradish...

Barbara, put an egg on it and you'll probably love it.

[Gourmet_Mom]

Funny how different we all are. I'll only eat it raw in a Bloody Mary shooter, don't particularly care for them fried unless they are done just right....a place at the beach, but I LOVE them steamed or roasted lightly! YUM YUM!

[foodfiend]

I have tried many different foods just by the menu and/or recipe descriptions. I'm sucker for the written word...

[cjs]

Me too, Vicci!!

Oysters or no, I just love the descriptions on menus and other media stories. Nothing gets me moving faster than to read a description of a pizza!!
