Sample Solution
This network of oil rigs sits in between New Orleans and the Chandeleur Islands, the southernmost area of the Mississippi River Delta, made up of 2.7 million acres of coastal wetland and home to an array of wildlife. New Orleans, which sits just north of the mouth of the Mississippi River, has developed its own food, music, and culture in the 301 years since the cityâs founding, making Southern Louisiana truly unique. At the corner of Iberville and Bourbon Street sits Acme Oyster Bar, opened in 1924 after a fire destroyed the Acme Café in the heart of the French Quarter. Acme grew in popularity in 1940, when troops, either being deployed or arriving home, would gather at the bar for beer and raw oysters. Acmeâs years of history have created an atmosphere and recipe unlike any other, and on any given day youâll have to stand outside for an hour behind a line of people waiting for Acmeâs famous chargrilled oysters, worthy of the $22 price. All the menu reveals is âoysters grilled in an herb butter sauce with a special blend >
