Oyster Roast – NY Food Film Festival 2012

Dang, I had a great time at the NY Food Film Festival once again. Strengthened relationships and made many new friends. Everyone really stepped it up this year on their films. But it sure is worth submitting. If you get your film in, the parties (screenings) you get to attend are so awesome. It concluded with an Oyster Roast in Williamsburg. I loved it. The Bulls Bay Oysters are so good.

Other things I really liked at the festival —Brooklyn Star Fried Pig Tails, Wild Hibiscus Flowers stuffed with Goat Cheese, and Saxon and Parole Fried Oysters.

Congratulations to all the filmmakers and the festival crew for continually making my life a party. Thank you.

Pier NYC on Roosevelt Island

I met up with Ramen and Friends on Roosevelt Island at Pier NYC, right off the F train stop. I didn’t realize how easy it was to get on the island. I just remember watching Dark Water and the only way to run away from the creepy ghost girl and get off the island was by the air Tram. But it was pretty easy by train.

Pier NYC –an outdoor drinking and eating spot on the west side of the island, right across the street from the train stop. I got there late to meet everyone. They warned me about the Whoopie Pie and the BBQ, which they didn’t think was good. So I went with some $2-3 Oysters and $1 Clams. Pretty good pricing, with such a nice view of the water. Also went low-carb with a couple of gin and sodas ($7 each).

Then a few of us too the air Tram back to Manhattan. It was fun. Only a regular MTA card swipe –so basically free on my unlimited card. Dang, I felt like Jennifer Connelly. But more like in Requiem for a Dream.

Drago’s Charbroiled Oysters

Headed back to New Orleans after our fishing trip in Lafitte. What else to do but drink. We became real tourist down on Bourbon St. It was only around 5pm and it was already starting to get stupid. Then Sally and Jay picked us up. They had full night of eating planned for us.

First up, Drago’s Seafood Restaurant for their Charbroiled Oysters. These were fantastic. Charbroiled with their garlic, butter & herb sauce. Tasted like steak! I chewed on the shells.
