While many prefer their oysters au naturel or very simply fried, there's nothing wrong with adding a little booze to the party and heating things up. The fruity flavor of Calvados, an apple brandy from France, is the perfect light enhancement.

Celebrate Mardi Gras With A Po' Boy

This Southern sandwich makes for one Fat Tuesday

Feb 21, 2012 12:31 pm

Welcome to one of the happiest days of the year, if you live in a city with outrageous Mardi Gras happy hours like we do. I'm not going to provide you with a history of the po' boy (streetcar workers went on strike, sympathetic restaurateurs plied the po' boys with free sandwiches, the legend was born), I'm going to tell you why they're awesome. Not that you need to be informed, that is — if you've ever had the pleasure.

It's one thing to shuck a fresh oyster and eat it au naturel, and another to create a garnish that won't...well, ruin it. I went to the New York City Wine and Food Festival as a purist — I take nothing on my oyster, save for maybe a squeeze of...
