If there’s one thing we love more than oysters, it’s finding chefs who are passionate about oysters too. So, we’re thrilled that the next New York Oyster Lovers Meetup will take place at Dressler (149 Broadway, Williamsburg) on Tuesday, May 8 at 7 pm. Some of you may have attended the Oyster Bash held at Dressler last year, and we’re excited to return for a full dinner. Executive Chef Polo Dobkin has designed the following oyster-themed menu for us, and it certainly helps explain how he’s received a Michelin star for five consecutive years. And let’s not forget the space–the NYT celebrates Dressler for having “food that’s sophisticated without being too clever, in a room that’s beautiful without being too flamboyant.” Check out the menu below:
SHOOTER
tomato water, vodka marjoram, thyme
RAW
east: shallot, black pepper, chardonnay vinegar
west: ramp, rice wine, chili
FRIED
corn meal breaded, mignonette remoulade, arugula, ciabatta
POACHED
kombu dashi, mackeral, daikon, sprouts, black radish
If that doesn’t make your mouth water, I don’t know what will!
The price for the dinner is $40 plus tax and tip, and payments will be collected after dinner, including any a la carte drinks or items you might order. To RSVP, you MUST sign up through Meetup, no +1s will be allowed for this event.
See you at Dressler!
