The
Austin Oyster Festival returns for its ninth year of honoring the sea’s most decadent mollusk – served up on the half shell, grilled, roasted, fried, in gumbo, and more – from the culinary savants of
Mongers,
Night Cap,
Salt Traders,
Shore ATX, and others – alongside seafood dishes, a veritable flotilla of cocktail pairings, and live music from
Chansons et Soulard, the
Blue Mist, and the
Lost Pines. Bonus: It's all to benefit the
Central Texas Food Bank.
