On the half shell.Richly Rockefeller. Fried. Roasted. Grilled. On a Bahn Mi. In a cup o' gumbo or a Bloody Mary.
I'm very good at eating for a cause, you know. And these beautiful bivalves greeted us in many forms this weekend at Austin's 3rd annual Oyster Festival benefiting the Capital Area Food Bank. Despite freezing rain, we made the trip out to Carson Creek Ranch for a hearty sampling of the savory shellfish. A truly delectable bounty.
