SUBJECT: Oyster shells and bottle caps on the wall
Happy Father's Day to all Dads, past, present and future! I made breakfast for HandsomeHusband this morning and let him take a nap before he mowed the lawn in the heat. That's the kind of wife I am. *wink* This evening we took my father to dinner at the Broadway Oyster Bar in St. Louis, Missouri. We picked up another friend and then met 4 other folks at the restaurant. HH and I first dined here together after an afternoon at Mardi Gras back in 1990. They have great Cajun/Creole food. HH ordered a bucket of crawfish, a dozen oysters on the half shell, Shrimp Remoulade and some gumbo. I ate a couple of the crawfish and oysters - yummy! My main course was a delicious Crawfish Etoufée. Dad had linguini with a sweet Creole red sauce and crawfish. Several people in our party had bread pudding for dessert...but I was too stuffed for that.
The oyster shells and bottle caps are part of this mural on the outside patio.

Sounds like a wonderful Father's Day dinner! Crawfish Etoufee is one of my most favorites!
What an awesome Father's Day!!
Great photo!!
I don't like oysters, but this is a great shot. Glad your hubby and you had a nice day!
Wow, that looks like one of those cool and fun places to go eat. Love your shot of that mural.
I love crawfish... but I won't peel them to get the meat for myself. Ugh. So as you can guess, I rarely get to eat this little delicacy, unless I order it like your dad did (which I have). Yum!
Sounds like you guys had a very nice Father's Day!
You are so generous to allow the nap. HA! What a fun time and neat restaurant.
