"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
A traditional Southern favorite. Fry in a cast-iron skillet with about 1/4” to 1/2” of oil. Salt them as they drain and eat them while they’re hot. Blue Willow – eat your heart out. Mine don’t have that thick coating – they have character and taste.
