Where to Find Stand-Up Oyster Bars in New Orleans | Eater New Orleans

"I see Ed McIntyre as the Johnny Appleseed of the stand-up oyster bar: whenever he expands his brand he insists on preserving the tradition, so each of his four restaurants (including the flagship in Metairie and three locations in Orleans Parish—two in the French Quarter on Bienville and Royal Streets and one on St. Charles Avenue in the Lower Garden District) keeps a version of the marble stand-up oyster bar with a foot rail and no stools. For McIntyre it’s personal—he grew up going to Bozo’s and, after taking over from Chris “Bozo” Vodanovich in 2013, he says, “Of course, we kept the bar the way it was.”" - Beth D’Addono
