2nd Annual Alabama Oyster Social Jan 29th in Auburn

Raw oysters are one of my favorite dishes. It doesn't get much better then a cooler full of ice and Alabama oysters ,a glove, a shucking knife and a bottle of hot sauce. The 2nd Annual Oyster Social promises phenomenal food, music and libations.

The social will also celebrate the hard work of the Oystermen and Dr. Bill Walton's crew at the Auburn University Shellfish Laboratory

Now eight different commercial farms call Alabama home where there were none in 2009, and the new system allows farmers to earn a respectable living, and keep them living on the Alabama coast, where good jobs can be hard to come by.

Check out this short documentary. I enjoyed watching this. It's really cool to see how these farmers work so hard to ensure that we can enjoy the perfect oyster right here in Alabama.

Alabama chef, Bill Briand, "The first one I ate it blew my mind and I want everyone to have that same experience. It's like eating salted butter."

I'd like a dozen on the half shell please. like right NOW.
