Oysters Rockefeller

The recipe for Oysters Rockefeller was created over a hundred years ago at Antoine’s restaurant in New Orleans, still in operation today. Because of the butter in addition to the oysters, the dish was considered to be so rich that it had to be named after the richest man in America—and at that time, this man was John D. Rockefeller. Antoine’s still holds the original recipe secret, so interpretations vary, mostly with the types of greens used.
