Forget wine and cheese or champagne and caviar… 2010 is all about oysters and beer!
To help prove it, on March 3rd Slow Foods Boston is gathering at Cambridge Brewing Company for a five course oyster feast with bivalves generously donated by Island Creek in order to help fund the Massachusetts Oyster Project.
The Massachusetts Oyster Project is dedicated to revitalizing the oyster population in Boston area waters and in doing so, helping to reduce the impact of man-made waste. The project began in October of 2008 with the placement of 150,000 oysters and they continued with an additional 50,000 placed in 2009. Founder Andrew Jay will be joining us to talk about the positive results thus far and their admirable aspirations for the future.
So did you know that… one oyster can clean up to 30 gallons of water per day? ... once upon a time the Charles River and Boston Harbor was home to hundreds of thousands of oysters? ...only 1 in 10,000 oysters will produce a pearl? ...oyster aficionados can tell what region an oyster is from just by their taste? ...the more oysters you eat, the better your love life will be?
CBC’s Chef David Drew will be doing what he can to help you on that last item with a mouth-watering menu including oyster bisque, oyster and chorizo stuffed Cavendish quail, and a special oyster dessert (don’t worry, we’ve been promised it won’t be fishy!!). Each course will be paired with a beer carefully selected by CBC Brewmaster Will Meyers. Both Will & David will be on hand to tell us more about the local foods and the beer and just why they go so well together.
Cost for this fabulous evening is $50 all inclusive. To reserve your spot, contact the Cambridge Brewing Company at 617.494.1994 and mention the “Slow Food Boston Oyster Event”.
Oh, and sorry, but no pearls can be guaranteed!
