I do chargrilled oysters a lot, mostly the Dragos recipe with an occasional compound butter in the mix. These were sensational. I think the cognac combined with the oyster liquor and those good and salty Louisiana oysters make for an excellent combination. The tarragon adds a nice layer of flavor as well.
The problem with a problem is that you don't know it's a problem until it's a problem, and that is a big problem.

I love the Drago's oysters. I've been looking for shells to grill the oysters in. The Loftinoysters.com shells look great, however they are pricey. At my home I would need at least 3 dozen. It's shocking how may oysters my teenage son can eat. He hardly leaves any for me.I really would like to be able to cook with the preshucked oysters ( I'm terrible at opening oysters)Has anyone got a economical alternative to the Loftinoysters shells? other than natural oyster shells?

If Dragos is busy, try the Bourbon House. They have an oyster bar and chargrill them right in front of you and they are pretty darn good. Enjoy!

I found these....they should work fairly well. The only thing is that the stainless may not retain quite the heat that the ceramic will.

The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out. -

Love dragos. Fun to sit at the oyster bar and chat up the dude shucking. Amazing how fast he is.
Also, those look great! -
Gone to all of them, Mr. Eds does a pretty good job and not nearly as crowed as Acme or Felix. The one on Beinville had a great bartender, knew lots of good info and took care of ya.Large BGE Houston TX
