Some New Firsts

After a stressful day of interviewing, we decided to grab a bite.  We were referred to a place called Grand Isle for some good gumbo.  Unfortunately, we were too hungry to remember to take a picture of that gumbo until it was gone...  It was a chicken and sausage gumbo, and it was outstanding.

Now, the Grand Isle was also referred to us because of another item they did well...oysters.  Caryn agreed to try an oyster, so in an effort to ease her into it, we ordered some smoked fried oysters.  They were really good, and they were served with a garlic aioli.  She held up like a champ, and dare I say it...she kinda liked them.

I guess the bartender overheard us talking about her first oyster, and came up with a little surprise...a couple freshly shucked and on the house

Caryn's second oyster...the real deal!
She said that she liked the flavor, but the texture was going to take some getting use to.  I think next time, we'll try it with some crackers.
