Hangtown Fry image

An oyster omelet. Legend says a miner walked into the Cary Hotel in Hangtown during the California Gold Rush and demanded the most expensive dish. Eggs were over a dollar a piece and oyster were even more expensive, so this is what the chef came up with. Use jarred small Pacific oysters, drained and patted dry.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would have preferred to use less chili powder or to omit it altogether. Otherwise, the dish was well-balanced and flavorful.

This dish was a disappointment. The oysters were gritty and the bacon was overcooked. The eggs were also bland and didn't add much flavor to the dish. I would not recommend this recipe.
