The Eats of Oyster Fest

Prior to Red Bank's Guinness Oyster Festival, RiverCenter Executive Director Nancy Adams promised that all appetites would be satisfied by the mostly-local gourmet spread featured at the second annual event. She certainly had a point.

While there were plenty of oysters – an estimated 10,000 of the little fellas were shucked by the Lusty Lobster of Atlantic Highlands – local restaurants provided plenty of culinary support with both menu classics and new creations made specially for the oyster fest.

A quick walk around the White Street parking lot where the festival was held revealed a number of delectable eats. with its famous calamari, the with its equally famous crackling calamari salad, and the with seafood-centric sandwiches, with Guinness cupcakes, the with pumpkin spiced cupcakes, with lobster and prawn bisque, Temple with chicken satay, with mac and cheese, with filet mignon burgers, with corned beef, and Gary the Soup Meister with his famous soups. We also spotted and cooking up a storm, too.
