A TikTok user named Equana has gone viral after recording herself devouring 48 oysters during a date at Fontaine’s Oyster House in Atlanta, all while the guy only ordered a drink.

She posted her whole date experience at the seafood restaurant that offers a dozen oysters for $15 as part of their Tuesday special.

Merely an Acquaintance

Equana’s video started with her showing the outside of the place, explaining that she met a guy a few weeks before this happened when she was out with her friends. The man has been texting her for weeks, “talking to himself,” as she said.

She’s not interested in the guy, but she doesn’t know why she didn’t just block him. When he asked to take her out for drinks, she agreed because she was bored and had spare time.

When they sat at a table, she proceeded to order her first plate of oysters. In the video, it was clear that she was recording with a flash, and she could be heard slurping and moaning as she ate.

Once Equana was done with her plate, she ordered another one, and another one, and another one!

She said, “Y’all, when the fourth plate came out, he was looking at me crazy. I didn’t give a f***. I’m like, ‘Baby, you invited me out. I’m going to eat.’”

What’s Next?

After finishing her oysters, the video showed the plates piling up on the table. But Equana still wanted more.

So, she ordered red potatoes and crab cakes. She liked the food so much that she rated them 10 out of 10.

Later on, her date, who hadn’t even finished his drink, appeared to be missing on camera. At some point, she explained that he excused himself to go to the restroom and never returned.

Equana said, “It’s been 10, 20, 30 minutes. Where the f*** is he at?” He bailed on her, leaving her to foot the bill!

Drinks, Not Food

Furious at her date leaving her, Equana confronted the guy through text message and shared a screenshot of their exchange.

She texted him, “Running out on a tab is crazy,” and he replied, “I offered to take you out for drinks, and you ordered all that food. I can Cash App the total for the drinks.”

Equana posted a follow-up video explaining how she tipped the servers at the restaurant.

According to her post, she left a $15 tip on her card and another $11 in cash, which ultimately amounted to 14% of the bill.

A Common Thing

Kelcey Flanagan, the restaurant’s manager, told Rolling Stone, an American magazine, that there were a lot of customers like Equana who frequented their place.

She shared, “I’ve had two ladies order six dozen oysters each. That’s not even the cherry on top—they were drinking white Russians. I didn’t know how to personally feel about that. I was just like, this is insane to me, but okay.”

More Oysters, Please!

The manager also explained that four dozen oysters weren’t that much. One time, a man even ordered 15 dozen oysters—all for himself!

What a Nice Woman!

Though Equana has been judged by many online, Flanagan hoped she wasn’t getting too much flak.

She said, “Some people tip great, some people, it’s regular, but she was nice. I just hope she’s not getting too much flak.”

Turning Back Around

Flanagan also clarified some confusion regarding Equana’s video, saying it wasn’t staged or scripted. She also noted that Equana’s date returned after she paid the bill.

She said, “I don’t know what was said, but he popped back in, and then they left.”

Redditors’ Opinions on the Matter

A handful of Redditors found Equana disgusting and judged her attitude during the whole date.

A commenter wrote, “That entire video was absolutely disgusting! She didn’t even try to converse with him. She was too busy recording herself eating and making moaning noises as if she were in the middle of having s**. She is revolting! I don’t blame him for leaving. All he had was a drink, and he didn’t even finish it.”

Another person said, “I don’t know what’s worse: the 48 oysters as an appetizer or the insane slurping and smacking.”

Flash On!

Some people said Equana’s date should’ve left once he saw her taking a video the entire time.

One TikToker said, “Recording her plate the entire time would have been the first red flag.”

Another one wrote, “If your date films themselves in any way during your date, leave your date as soon as possible.”

More and More

TikTokers found it funny that Equana still considered eating more after finishing 48 oysters.

“The audacity to ask what’s next after 48 oysters is insane,” a person wrote.

Another commenter said, “The flash, the moaning, the ‘What I’m about to eat?’ after 48 oysters. I’m hollering!”

What’s the Lesson?

One person shared that what Equana did was an excellent way to get rid of a guy she doesn’t like. On the other hand, it might have been the worst date for the man.

A TikToker wrote, “I got a different take: how to properly get rid of this man that’s been bothering me for weeks.”

Another one said, “He has the best ‘tell me about your worst date’ experience.”

What’s your worst date experience? Have you ever had to date a woman like Equana before?
