"I can assure you it will be," the chef replies, with the easy security of one who knows his craft.
There are details to any meal that must be settled in advance - what dishes to have and how they should be prepared, which wines to have with what dishes, et cetera - but soon they are all hashed out, the chef returns to the kitchen which is his domain, and the diners are provided with Oysters Bienville and an accompanying wine to introduce their meal. Each oyster is served on the half-shell, having been baked while topped with a mixture consisting of a butter roux, sherry, mushrooms, bell peppers, a mild cheese, and shrimp. The oysters are served on small, silvery trays in the shape of a mollusc, with each oyster supported in an indentation along the shell's inner edge as though it were a pearl.
"My friends, I must thank you again for accompanying me this evening," Yrael says, taking up his glass of wine. "It is rare that I get to show off my chosen city and I very much enjoy the opportunity."
