I had the luxury to attend a conference in New Orleans. And I saw this as an opportunity to try all the different restaurants in this food mecca! As soon as I landed, my friend, a NOLA native, suggested that we go to Drago's for lunch to try their famous charbroiled oysters.

| Drago’s Original Charbroiled Oysters |
My friend and I decided to split 1 dozen of oysters. That was a mistake!!! I wished I ordered 1 dozen for myself. The oysters came out hot, charboiled with butter, lemon, and pepper on the oysters. They usually add cheese on them, which I chose not to have due to an allergy. But I bet the cheese makes it even better. The oysters had a smoky taste which balanced well with the butter and lemon. Use the remaining juice in the shell and plate to dip the bread in. I can probably sit there and eat 2 dozens of oysters. They were just that delicious!

| Mama Ruth’s Seafood Gumbo | |
We also decided to order a bowl of the Seafood Gumbo to balance out our meal. The gumbo was good, but not spectacular. There was nothing special or unique about the taste of the gumbo. I would definitely stick to the oysters.
If you are ever in the New Orleans area, you must stop by Drago's for their charbroiled oysters.
Location:
Drago’s Seafood Restaurant (at Hilton New Orleans Riverside)
