Great event with perfect weather that more than made up for last year.
Skip and the Island Creek folks are very friendly and the event has such a local vibe.
1/2 of the dishes served from chefs were different variations of oysters and razor clams supplied by Island Creek. In the VIP tent, Tony Maws served razor clams in a very simple broth which nice but was hoping for some pork belly on the original menu, Ming Tsai served cooked oysters with black pepper garlic sauce and was busy hamming it up for TV and press, Jody Adams from Rialto served an excellent spiced rabbit hoagie and a clam chowder, Jeremy Sewall from ESK and Island Creek Oyster Bar served a half lobster tail topped with a chorizo which was gone in less than an hour.
Harpoon was serving a number of beers including the Oyster Stout which was actually very good with only a hint of oyster.
The main tent had a number of other great dishes, lines were long at certain points, but it was an excellent event for a good cause.
