Just wondering...how long will the lines be in front of Acme if the Raw Bar is shut down...
From WWL-TV:
According to Gunter, Acme has enough oysters to last the rest of this week. Beyond that, they're not sure, because Gunter said, if Acme can't get Louisiana oysters, rather than bringing in an inferior outside product, they may simply not serve raw oysters. "If we can't get the product we're looking for," Gunter added, "you hate to say it, but the Raw Bar would go unoccupied for a little while."
I feel bad for you people who love raw ones, like my hubby. I've been to three different Acme locations with him and the food sucked at each one. The service was bad/weird at only one. Hubby was happy with the oysters though.
Yeah, I never go to Acme. I never wait in lines. Just walk across to Felix.
Shrimp season for inside waters would have been opened this week. There would have been shrimp everywhere roadside. Not now. Closed! The Shrimp Lot in Westwego is just about out. They are selling farm raised and IQF. Can't get the fresh. Glad I bought 50 lbs on May 1st! They only have about 2 sizes now. They had about 10 sizes/prices last week. Down to my last bit of oysters though. May have to see if I can pick up another half gallon or gallon soon. Sure prices are about to skyrocket.
I agree with Mrs. F. abt Acme. Their raw oysters are always good (so are Felix's), anything else at both places sucks bilgewater. So does the service. My favorite oyster place is Bozo's. They are unsure of the future availability of their star menu item.

Jeeves, have you had oysters from Bozo's in the last couple of weeks?
If yes, & they were good, please tell me pronto!
They are down the street from my office & for some reason I never think to go there. I'll go Thurs & Fri if you say yes!

This.
Ate there a week ago and while their raw and charbroiled were good, the fried were overcooked and cold. Service was fine though.
BTW, Tommy Citanovich was on radio yesterday (again) trying to alleviate fears saying that if the oysters are questionable they will be taken off the menu.
He also said that they (Dragos) has contingency plans in place but it doesn't include importing oysters from outside of LA.
Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.
