They're not the only oyster shuckers in town, so what gives? You will be able to count on one hand the others within the next few months. No one in the New Orleans area did the volume of P&J. They typically sell approx 60,000 per day. That would be abut 300 sacks. Good luck getting that volume ...

Mardi Gras is French and translates out to Fat Tuesday in English. The one day before Ash Wednesday! The so called "Dean" is wrong about his insistance on using the word, "poor boy". He is the only one who calls the Oak Street Po-Boy Festival a "Poor Boy Festival" When...

Yup, Creole Country extra hot! Vaughn Schmidt and Deanie Bowen turn out some of the best. Smoked pulled pork, no mystery meat. I like it just dipped in a bit of Scratchmo's Creole Mustard (Contact Mrs. Fury for some). No crackers. Do I eat hogshead cheese? Is a pig's azz pork? Bingo! Love the stuff...

As for the cracks, don't over-romanticize the effect. It's just a healed-over split; tomatoes tend to crack a bit after heavy rains. They add nothing to the taste.
