Oysters will be available for pickup prior to the event so that you and your teams are able to pre-shuck and/or prepare your oysters as you wish.

Due to the nature of the event and trying to provide a variety of menu items, upon submitting your participation form we ask that you give us your 1st - choice recipe and 2nd - choice recipe to prepare for the event. If your 1st choice recipe has already been submitted and approved for another restaurant, you will be notified to prepare your 2nd choice. This will allow us to not have more than one restaurant preparing the same thing (i.e. oysters Rockefeller, etc.)
