1884, Phillip Mazzoni opened Mazzoni’s Bar on 3^rd & Market, downtown Louisville.  With his 2 brothers, he sold ROLLED OYSTERS—3 oysters dipped in egg/milk/cornmeal, rolled in cracker crumbs and deep fried. They lasted until 2008 when an oyster scarcity drove them out of business—rolled oysters are still available in some Louisville restaurants. I learned about them from my father, Charles G. Suddeth, who went there around 1940 with his father, Lawrence Suddeth. (Near my house is Mazzoni’s Pizza, no word on oyster toppings)
