At the back, Oyster Shooters. In the front, left to right, Coconut Shrimp, Andouille Sausage and Creole Calamari. God, that was good food.

WARNING

People, for the love of all that is holy, do NOT buy Aquafina Flavored Water.

Good Lord that stuff is nasty! I bought the citrus flavor expecting a water-with-a-squeeze-of-lemon/lime flavor sort of thing.

It was repulsive. It tastes just like sweetened chemicals - my fave! One sip and I tossed it out.
