Parkway Bakery & Tavern

That's one of many.

I plucked that oyster from its po' boy ($13.55) to offer you a cleaner look; on the sandwich (roughly half is shown below) they're pressed in very close, which makes for a cluttered composition but many satisfying mouthfuls. Unlike at the previous week's Louisiana Oyster Jubilee, where all the sandwich-makers used cornmeal-crusted shellfish from a single provider, at its own digs Parkway employs a much lighter breading, which responds very well when lightly dressed with butter.
