Z's is best. Then Mitchell's.

Enjoy!

Thanks, we left before I got your response and went to Mojito for the first time. Of course, I've been wanting to go since they opened with nothing but great reviews from EVERYONE.

Mojito delivered for us also, it was excellent. $67 with tip and tax with 8 tapas dishes, a mojito, a beer and soft drink. For three people it was good.

Too late now, but Z's is best! Next time!

I heard that there was an impressive raw bar at the Jeff Ruby's in Louisville. Not true?

In my experience the best oysters are at Z's.

Ruby's does indeed have a raw bar selection - I think you order from the menu rather than graze the bar, although early in the morning before coffee, I don't recall for certain. Sorry it didn't occur to me as an option last night, but in any case, Z's remains my No. 1 oyster pick.

This would be a great thing for one of our local fishmongers to offer: a raw bar. What better place to get uber-fresh shellfish and sashimi grade fish than a seafood store? All it would need is a short counter, some stools, and one employee who can shuck oysters and slice fish well.

Jeff Ruby's does have good oysters on the half shell. Being from the South though does make me pine for an oysterbar sometimes.

I think your on to a good idea there Ron.

I agree..Got any money??

Better get massive amounts of Worker's comp insurance. Oyster shuking is dangerous. If a shucker cuts his hand he is in for a nasty infection.

I just went through my desk at work, and mananged to cobble together about six bucks in loose change. Hey, it's a start.

Not me, how about we create a Hotbytes investment pool and start our own place? It could be a project. Lots of knowledge around here obviously.

Those gloves work well. I use to sell them for about 100.00. Also good for power meat slicers. The Kevlar gloves (about 20.00) do a good job with knives and a fair job with oysters and slicers. Problem was, it was difficult to get people to use them.

Couple of the chains make sure the metal ones were used with slicers. Not using either of these gloves gave Kleinert and Kutz lots of business.
