‘The Time has Come,’ The Walrus Said, ‘To Talk of Food & Things’

Once upon a time, I believed that the authority on oysters were The Walrus & The Carpenter — the greedy duo who tricked a colony of oysters to follow them to dry land, only to eat every last one. They ate the doomed ocean-dwellers with lemon and vinegar, the Walrus greedily savoring every last drop. Alas, as I’ve gotten quite a bit older, and stopped watching Disney cartoons (or have I?) I realized — the Walrus & The Oyster were sorely missing out. I mean, it’s not really their fault – Edge Steakhouse wasn’t around in their day and age. They didn’t have the option of that amazing Hot Source to pour on the mollusks. A garden on site where they grow the peppers for the aforementioned condiment. The brightly acidic mignonette. They didn’t have 3-7 pm happy hour, which boasts $1 oysters (and subsequently leaves out the dirty work of conning a bunch of oysters to land). To add on to the oyster-gasmic experience, they have some of the best drinks in town, for a special 2-for-1 deal. The SOB, Moscow Mule, Ginger Brickell, and Pisco Sour are not to be missed. Like the Walrus & The Carpenter, Shari & I have recently become greedy little oyster fiends — which obviously, begs the question, who is the carpenter and who is the walrus? (Don’t answer that). -Stef
