Bangkok Oysters @ MeMe's
One of the strongest courses at MeMe's is the array of ideas Chef Lincoln Owen has with regard to oysters. On any given night he has at least four versions baked or grilled on the half shells. Some are classics, like the very well-made Rockefellers. But the best yet is what the chef calls "Bangkok oysters." It's easy to pick out from the platter: it's the one with the brilliant red color. The first flavor that makes the jump to your palate is as sharply flavored as it looks, the sauce having been made from sriracha pepper sauce, among other things. There's a little cheese in there to balance the flavor out. If I ate here every day, I'd still include the Bangkok version in my order. [caption id="attachment_52237" align="alignnone" width="480"]
