- Today we celebrate that humble mollusk, the oyster, but in a very sophisticated style because today is Oysters Rockefeller Day.
Oysters Rockefeller can trace its roots to the world famous Antoine's Restaurant in New Orleans, one of America's oldest and still operating restaurants. Developed by the founder's son who took over the restaurant in 1874, Jules Alciatore created this dish to make up for a supply shortage of snails for the ever popular, escargots bourguignon on his menu. Oysters were everywhere and never in short supply, so after a bit of trial and error, he settled on a dish that would approximate the experience of escargots bourguignon. We think this was also the first time oysters were ever served cooked as they were always served raw until then.
No one really knows where the name Oysters Rockefeller came from, but the most widely known story is that the green stuffing was the color of greenbacks and the dish was so rich it was as rich as Rockefeller, at the time, the richest man in the country.
Allegedly, the original recipe didn’t contain spinach but instead, watercress, but since the original recipe has always remained a secret, chefs and home cooks alike have interpreted and reinterpreted this beloved dish countless times, pretty much always using spinach. From there, the method stays the same… lightly broiled oysters topped with a mixture of greens, shallots, butter, garlic, Pernod, cheese and breadcrumbs.

If it involves a pearl,,,I am all in.
Thank you again for a wonderful video.
Just be sure not to swallow it or else you’d have a Kopi Luwak pearl. 😂
I love them but my grandfather was right-oysters look like snot.
Maybe he would've liked Oysters Rockefeller...you can't see them! :o)
