I know. For shame, for shame. I went to New Orleans and I ended up eating in places where Tony Bourdain would never go like Acme Oyster House in the French Quarter. So call me Rachael Ray for a day.
I don't mind because it was at Acme that I had my first taste of grilled oysters. I may not ever be able to go back to eating oysters raw again. If you've never had oysters prepared this way, let me tell you that it's quite deliciously obscene. First the oysters are drowned in garlic butter (I think), then suffocated under cheese. The oysters in the shells are thrown on the grill until the shells are charred to black and the oysters are screaming for mercy under the cheese. I couldn't help but throw a few splashes of hot sauce on there, too. Hey, they were already blasphemed with all that other stuff, so I didn't feel to bad.

I guess that's as good an excuse as any to eat garlic and cheese! Pity about the oyster :)

I've had oysters that way in a couple of places around DC. I love 'em, but I still love 'em raw, too.

Sarah, since you're Korean, I'm sure you would love (if you haven't already had it) Jogae Gui, which is various live shellfish tossed on the grill.
