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"

LOL

When I was in Hilton Head, SC, I saw lots of gators....they would come
out at night at a pond near a bank and we sat in the car and watched
them. I recently tasted gator at a restaurant in San Mateo, CA, called
Gator's Neo-Soul Cafe. It was very bland and I'm glad I tasted it but
wouldn't order it again....so glad it was only the appetizer!
Have a good weekend,
