On the To-Eat List: Oyster pan roast
Are you familiar with oyster pan roast? The crazy decadent (and mysteriously named) dish is something you'd expect to see in one of New Orleans' classic dining establishments, and it's been sort of a hot topic in recent years in NYC. (You can get it at the iconic Grand Central Oyster Bar, and April Bloomfield's The John Dory serves a version that comes with a toast slathered in an almost obscene amount of uni butter.)
But we don't think the dish is particularly familiar around here*. It may be soon, though: the dish—which is actually more along the lines of a stew than the name would have you think—is new to the lineup at the Oyster House (1516 Sansom St.), and we can't wait to try it. Their version boasts tarragon, crème fraîche, and a side of toasts with a smear of shrimp butter. Plus, of course, a quartet of cream-poached oysters. The portion may sound small, but you'll probably end up feeling grateful for that, because this is a seriously rich dish. Hmm, if only we were in the midst of a total bullshit blustery cold snap right now!
