A woman has gone viral after she noisily gulped down 48 oysters at a Georgia restaurant while on a first date.
The woman, who goes by the name EquanaB on TikTok, revealed in a video that she met her date at Fontaine’s Oyster House in Atlanta, where she ordered four dozen oysters, which she noisily knocked back during dinner — and it’s where it all started to go wrong.
While waiting for her date to come out of the bathroom, the woman was angry to hear that he had left the restaurant – in apparent disgust at her insatiable appetite for shellfish.
But while EquanaB was shocked by her date’s behavior, those who watched her video on TikTok were quick to accuse her of being wrong.
One user wrote on TikTok: ‘Idk what’s worse, the 48 oysters as an APPETIZER or the insane slurping and slapping.’
The women ordered and slurped 48 oysters while on a first date with a man she had met a few weeks earlier while out with friends
Fontaine’s Oyster House in Atlanta is said to have great food and they have an ‘Oyster Tuesday’ special where the seafood starts at $15
At the beginning of her videoEquanaB explained that she had met her date a few weeks earlier while out with friends and said that the man had been ‘texting her for weeks’.
‘I was bored and I had time so he sends me a text like, “can we meet for drinks?”‘ she continued.
The woman first asked herself why she didn’t block her future date, then proceeded to walk into the restaurant.
She declared: ‘They got the best f***ing oysters in Atlanta.’
The oysters at Fontaine’s Oyster House start at $15 a dozen every Tuesday, and that’s when the pair agreed to meet for drinks.
The majority of the video shows the women slurping the oysters after adding lemon and Tabasco.
She doesn’t show him on camera. She admits that her date got some strange looks, but that she ‘didn’t give up.’
“I was like, ‘Babe, you invited me – I’m going to eat,'” she said.
After finishing the 48 oysters, the women ordered crab cakes and red-skinned potatoes, which they said were a ‘ten out of ten’.
Her date didn’t think so, and after telling the woman he was going to the bathroom, he left and never came back.
She said: ‘It’s been 10, 20, 30 minutes… Finally had to pick up the tab… Left me with his one fucking drink.
The man eventually texted her: ‘I offered to take you out for drinks and you ordered all that food – I can Cashapp the total for the drinks.’
As she slurped the oysters, the woman also added lemon and hot sauce
People on TikTok sided with the woman’s date — many of whom said they would have done the same thing her date did
The restaurant’s manager, Kelcey Flanagan, said Rolling stone she was not surprised: ‘This is nothing new for us. It was just kind of funny.’
‘I had two ladies order six dozen (oysters) each. That’s not even the cherry on top – they drank white Russians.
“I’ll say, it’s been a minute since I’ve eaten a single female that much…that’s pretty impressive.”
Although the woman was left with the bill, TikTok users are choosing her date in their droves.
One person said: ’48 oysters to yourself is insane.’
Another person said: “I’m here screaming because you gobbled up those oysters and that man was escaping.”
“I’m glad he’s gone because it was a horrible sight to sit across from you,” said one TikToker.
On X, one user said: ‘Find him so we can hear his side’.
The woman posted another TikTok video after she went viral in response to a comment made about her $11-dollar restaurant tip.
She said: ‘I left $11 in cash (and) $15 on my card.’
The woman also admitted that she ended up paying for his drink. It is unclear whether they contacted each other again after the disastrous date.
