Thomas "Uptown T" Stewart shucked oysters for me at Pascal's Manale in mid May - two days earlier - it was Mike Rogers at Casamentos - Storm'n Norman at Acme gave us a lesson in Oysters and New Orleans a few years back - along with this card as "Master Shucker" - and - the night - two years ago - when Julius was manning the Oyster bar at Pascal's - prompted memories from 30 years previous - along with a bounty of P&J Oysters that almost prompted me to pass on supper - (Pascal's Manale Oyster Redux) -
Gulf Oil Spill Puts Oyster Shuckers, Traditions On Ice - 071110 - Time-Picayune - Brett Anderson - brings the BP Spill to another personal level - these are "fisherman" or "oil rig workers" or "local residents" - these are stories of people I personally know - and - if you've ever been to NOLA - likely have been too -
A moving read -
So glad you and your gorgeous, smart, witty wife enjoyed Flex and La Caravelle Rose! It's one of our favorites also.
