My first visit to Bozo's was at their original location in downtown New Orleans.  It was 1968 and we were there to tape the first ever Big Mac TV commercials - the ones used for Big Mac test markets.  Seems we couldn't find a production facility in Chicago and had to suffer a few days in New Orleans.

I shared this with my waitress.  "That's nice," as she headed for another table.  Bozo's started off as a private club and the restaurant has the same feel if one isn't a regular.

Back then the production facility was buying.  We had a private room.  They covered the table first with shucked oysters, then with large platters of crawfish piled high.  It was a feast I longed to repeat.

Didn't quite do that, but started with a dozen oysters the shucker raised to 15 because some were small.  Followed that with a shrimp and crawfish combination platter.  Good eating but not what I remembered from 1968.
