oyster season at casamento's



"Probably my favorite restaurant in New Orleans is Casamento's. They're only open for oyster season, which is only eight or nine months long — generally, every month that has an R in it. When I go, I order dozens of raw oysters and an oyster loaf, which is a fried oyster sandwich on white bread."

hot boudin to-day

Boudin is a cajun sausage made from pork, liver, rice, and spices. It is usually stuffed into cases, then steamed, and served just like that. Gas stations all over cajun country (which often are the best restaurants) hold them in croc pots and sell them just like that. You push the filling out of the casing and eat it with a cracker and hot sauce. It's fucking delicious.
