30 Years of Oysters at Shaw’s Oysterfest

How time flies, especially if you’re shucking. This Friday, Shaw’s Crab House kicks off it’s 30 year anniversary celebration with yet another Oyster Fest Block Party. As usual, there will be live music, Goose Island beers, a boat load of fresh seafood and tons of oysters (approx. 15,000) from both coasts. A lively Oyster Slurp Off will pit finalists head-to-head to see who takes home a $1,000 prize. All of the action begins on Friday at 3 p.m.  The event lasts until 10 p.m. and takes place at 560 W. Grand (at the River). Tickets are available for $25 at www.oysterfestchicago.com. Use the code LOBSTER.
