Oyster Season

Andrew Chalk went in search of the best Gulf oysters and ended up at Gilhooley's, of course. "I ordered a half-dozen raw ($5.50) and half-dozen 'Gilhooly' ($7.75) oysters. The latter preparation coats the oysters with garlic butter and parmesan cheese and barbecues them. The butter and cheese melt, and infuse themselves into the oyster which is firmed as well as flavored in the heat." [Crave]
