Chargrilled oysters at Acme Oyster House in the New Orleans French Quarter.
Chargrilled oysters are a New Orleans speciality: oysters on the half shell topped with garlic butter and cheese and cooked over an open flame until they sizzle. The video shows them coming off the grill.
Acme’s original location on Iberville Street has been serving oysters since 1910 and often has a line out the door, so arriving early or late in the afternoon helps.
