Last week's Seattle Times featured a southern BBQ joint (Casper's) just
north of us that serves fried gator tail. The SO and I had enjoyed this
delicacy when we lived in Dallas, so we mustered the Friday night crew
to give it a try. As luck would have it, we got snow last night. The
joint had very little seating, so we did takeout and brought it home to
our house. There's something very incongruous about eating gator in a
"snowstorm" (the Seattle version, not the Midwest-Upstate NY version).
Other comments about the fare from around the table:

Gator--"Proof that birds evolved from reptiles"; a little too much
breading

Ribs--very good

Red beans and rice--on the bland side

Fried okra--just fine

Baked beans--pretty good, a little spicy

Banana pudding--"Trailer park tiramisu"
