Have another oyster

 2 dozen Delicious gulf oysters

So before the year ended I just had to finish out the year beating the oysters eaten in one sitting at The Lobster Trap in Asheville.  There just are not too many places you can get a $6 dozen of oysters any more. I had shucked thousands at the trap on Tuesday nights over the years so it was fun to sit down to .50 cent oysters on Tuesday night at the Trap.  The current record was 11 dozen and one oyster. I stopped at a twelve dozen, ordering the last five so the guys could get out of the kitchen.  I think I could have easily eaten three more to get on the wall of fame at the Acme in New Orleans.  I also enjoyed several Oyster House beers with my oysters.

Grand Central Holidays

 Pearl at Grand Central Oyster Bar Thanksgiving 2010

At the recommendation of the Oyster Geek himself, I decided to pay a visit to the Grand Central Oyster Bar on my annual Thanksgiving visit to Manhattan.

I ventured into Grand Central on the day after Thanksgiving and, as expected, it was teeming with travelers making their way into and out of the City. If you’ve never been to Grand Central Station, besure to stop and take it all in as you arrive. Then head down to the “Dining Concourse” to find the Grand Central Oyster Bar………….. Read about all of Pearl’s visit to GCOB in oyster stories and check out all the photo’s she took in the gallery.
