How to Eat Raw Oysters
Sampling raw oysters is a great way to get a taste of a place’s waterways. Oysters, like wine, have their own terroir, owing their flavor to the place they’re grown and harvested. Plump oysters live in richer waters, generally, while brinier varieties tend to live in saltier, less nutrient-rich locations.

Oct 26, 2015The Capital Grille
We arrived before our Friday night dinner reservation at The Capital Grille, but were still seated immediately. Our waiter, Joe, was incredibly helpful during our meal. The Capital Grille hosts their drink list on iPads and Joe walked us through their selection, offering his suggestions. I started with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and we ordered the cold shellfish platter. The refreshing plate included a chilled, one-pound lobster, shrimp cocktail and oysters on the half shell. If you’re a shellfish fan, this appetizer is a must. We quickly cleared our plates.
