Oyster Bar; Abbeville, Louisiana -- USA :: 06 FEB 97
Aahhh. Every now and again you find in the most unlikely of
places some good eats. Not necessarily fine dining, with its airs of superior
atmosphere and presentation. Something less self-possessed. A nice looking
place, with personable service and good food.
From Phoenix to Abbeville I've been making do with packaged
sandwiches from Circle K, diner meals and the cafeteria of the State Capitol
Building of Austin, Texas (which serves a pretty good enchilada). But
off the beaten path, in Abbeville, one of the first buildings you'll see
travelling east-bound is Black's Oyster Bar. Stop there.
I'm having Alligator Bits, Crawfish
Étouffée and Seafood
Gumbo with a Beck's
Dark to wash it down.
11:51 7830 Dominican St.; New Orleans, Louisiana --
USA :: 06 FEB 97
Alligator Bits are sorta Alligator Nuggets. Tasty. Something
like a cross between chicken nuggets and calimari (deep-fried squid).
I don't think they're `traditional' of Louisiana cooking.
On the other hand, Crawfish
Étouffée probably is. What you have is boiled crawfish tail in a tomato
cream sauce with a little kick. Absolutely scrumptious. The gumbo is essentially
seafood soup. A marvy broth, again with a bit of kick, containing crawfish
tails, clams and catfish.
I didn't like beer much in my teen years until I picked up a
rack of Beck's
Dark for a party, around 1978 or so. I was probably trying to be cool.
But since then, it's been dark beers of one variety or another ever since.
Unless it's really, really hot and there's some ice-cold lager around.
Actually, the Dixie Brewery in Louisiana bottles a little wonder known
as Blackened
Voodoo Lager. Great stuff.
Anyway, it was nice to enjoy a meal for a change.
