Char Grilled Oysters

I don't know that I've ever been this excited about doing a show and sharing a part of my life with y'all

I am in Uncle Bubba's Oyster Bar. My brother Bubba and I are not only partners in our lives, but we are now partners in a restaurant

We've got a wonderful deck out here that seats 150 people, and Bubba's going to have the most fabulous seafood dishes

So y'all stay with me because I'm going to have Uncle Bubba himself

cooking his signature dish that's going to knock your socks off. Hey, Bubba

Hey, sis. It looks like I'm just in time. Yes, you are

We got us a good fire going. I was just chatting with everybody out there in TV land

and I was telling them I don't think I've ever been more excited about a show than this one

Really? Me too. Yes, I'm so proud of you. Well, thank you

You meant so much to the Lady and Sons. You took us to all new levels

and the opportunity for us to do this together, open up this seafood restaurant

just almost brings me to tears. And I promised everybody that you were going to show them what going to be our signature item here at Uncle Bubba Okay What are you doing This is Uncle Bubba charbroiled oysters on the half shell

and we're going to put some butter and parmesan cheese on it

and we're going to cook them until it gets a good charbroiled flavor, and they're delicious, and we'll serve them with some French bread

You might want to get your water bottle, because I'm going to start putting the butter to your oysters

All right, now you're having to spray that with water. Uh-huh, we're going to control the fire

Because this butter is really agitating your flames, isn't it? Right, right

But you want it to do that to a degree. This is where you get the charbroil flavor, right here

That's right. Those look delicious, Bubba. Yes, they are looking good. All right, now I just sprinkle these with some Parmesan and Romano cheese

And you don't want to use the fresh grated. You want to make sure that you get it already like in the powder form

that you use on spaghetti and things like that. and it's gonna give these oysters the most intense flavor. Now you don't think

we're gonna have any trouble getting these year-round? No. So that is a

wives tale you say about months that end in our are only good for oysters? Right

but now that we have refrigeration trucks and warehouses and everything they can be harvested year and shipped immediately That one ready Okay Bubba I going to start shucking some more because those look ready don they

Yes, they do. But anyway, Bubba and I first had these type of oysters in New Orleans at Drago's

and we just fell in love with them, and we wanted to be able to eat them a little bit more often

So we felt like the guests that come to Uncle Bubba's would enjoy these also

And you have to be very, very careful when you're eating these

because that shell gets hot as a firecracker, doesn't it, Bubba? Yes, it will

You have to be very careful when you pick them up. All right, in shucking oysters, you'll want to make sure that you start with an oyster knife

and you want to keep a towel around or either some gloves because if you slip with this oyster knife

you want to have a little protection there. So I'm going to take my knife, I'm going to nestle it in there

and then I'm just going to twist just like this. Bubba show them how to open my oyster All right let me help you All right I rather butter anyway Some of them can be a little tough That one was hard wasn it

Just got to get it started. And then I like to take and cut the mussel

And you want to make sure when you serve the oysters that you put extra butter on it

because we're going to sop up all that butter that we ladled over those oysters, aren't we

Yes. What can we taste? Let's do. This is the way I like to eat mine

I like to take my bite of bread, and then I like to come over there and just scoop

and clean out that shell. Just like that. You're the man, Bubba

Okay. Here you go. I'll fix you up. All right. Not. Ah

All right. Mmm. Wow. Well Bubba they're out of this world

They're pretty good aren't they? No they're better than pretty. It's better than pretty good
