If you are walking the Freedom Trail in Boston at some point you will pass Union Oyster House. It is a national Historic Landmark and is America’s oldest restaurant. The building it’s located in dates back to before the Revolutionary War. As soon as I walked in I could feel the history. Just knowing that this countries Four Fathers walked these rooms gave me chills.
I wanted to sit at the famous oyster bar but every seat was full and the wait was long. Since I was hungry from my walk, I just sat at one of the booths.
I looked over their menu and my eyes fell upon their grilled oysters. Needless to say I was completely shocked to see oysters prepared this way in the North East; I thought grilled oysters was just a southern thing. I knew I had to try these and see how they prepared theirs compared to the chargrilled oysters from New Orleans and across the south.
The oysters did not have a huge smoky flavor from the grill. What made them taste different was they used a lot more cheese and added spinach to them. They were cooked well done so there was not a lot of juice left in the shell. I was glad to see that they were different from what I am use to.
If you are heading to Boston, Union Oyster House needs to be on your To-Do list. Read all about their history and the history of Boston on their website: www.unionoysterhouse.com
