Oysters Rockefeller
Created in 1899 at Antoine's in New Orleans, this dish remains one of America's great culinary inventions. The original recipe, guarded as closely as any state secret, tops briny Gulf oysters with a verdant mixture of herbs, breadcrumbs and the anise notes of Pernod. Broiled until bubbling and golden, each oyster emerges with its maritime essence enhanced rather than masked. A testament to the Crescent City's French-Creole heritage.
