Haha. I wish it was someone as famous as Kelly Kapowski! I’d put up with a lot for someone with Saved by the Bell money. But she was more of a small role person, and I don’t really want to dox her since she’s tried hard to stay under the radar since leaving that life, regardless of how nuts she is! [emoji23]

And this too. If she does something horrible to me or something you know I’ll be on here spilling the hot gossip.

Probably don’t have to take your hat off to eat a hot dog, at that place.

Are you kidding me? I'd be on that dock patio at least an hour a day, maybe more.

I prefer my oysters in a stew or fried.

No, everyone else does though. I forgot, they also have lobster rolls that are pretty good, if just a bit on the skimpy side. And chowdah.

It never occurred to me to mention it, I don't think about oysters much. I'd probably love them if I could get past the texture.

Lowcountry oyster roast. It's that season.

It's honestly my favorite fall activity anymore.

Call all your friends over. Build a fire under the steel. Soak some burlap in sea water. Toss a bushel of local cluster oysters on the hot steel and cover with the burlap and let roast for a bit.
Dump on a plywood table with a big hole in the middle for shells with hot sauce, saltines, lemons and lots of beer.

When I fought wildfire in Alaska, we’d often be out in the bush on a fire for days on end and the food wasn’t much to write home about. When I got home after a long stint I liked to have a long soak and shower, put on fresh clothes, pick up my accumulated mail and go to a nice restaurant in town for a fresh, well prepared meal - usually something like a salad and oysters (and beer). This one time I ran into a colleague at the restaurant and got to talking, and it turned out he’d never had a raw oyster so I gave him one to try. He popped it in kind of reluctantly and started chewing it. I laughed and told him “sort of like a booger, huh?” He was seriously grimacing and shook his head and said “not as good.”

I just heard that guy died of cancer a couple weeks ago.

Well that's another reason not to eat oysters. Guy had one and died.

Grilled oysters from Drago’s in New Orleans are the best oysters I’ve had (everything else at Drago’s has been mediocre at best).

I'm with Buster. Grilled oysters with garlic butter, and maybe a sprinkle of parm. I have only ever eaten one raw oyster many decades ago. One and done.

Some of my favorite books that I own. Oysters, and hot dogs, are some of my most sought after pleasantries.

Also, y'all are going on about oysters. Ever had octopus eggs?

Cooking oysters is a waste. Cooking bull testicles is not.

I love tasting the ocean from raw oysters, no accoutrements, but a roast is a fantastic time and great eats.

I think it's there to keep the oysters away from the clams. They're enemies you know.

Grilled oysters with a fresh mignonette sauce are divine. Also with melted cheese on top.

Oyster stuffing? Oyster hand pies with a velouté and some veg?

C'mon now.
