Oysters and caviar may not be a weekly meal, but when a craving hits or the occasion is right, you’ll want to make sure you’re getting the best of the best.
Chris Shepherd knows where you can find some of the top seafood in town, and he’s taking us to two of his favorites in this episode of “Eat Like a Local with Chris Shepherd”.
Little’s Oyster Bar and Josephine’s have chefs in the kitchen who could teach master classes on the science of seafood. From oyster origins to why the caviar at Little’s is so special, you’ll feel like more of an expert too the next time you dine out after watching this show.
Plus, you’ll want to stick around until the end, because Josephine’s is serving up a pie with a crust that Shepherd calls “stupidly good.” It combines peanuts, peanut butter, root beer, and homemade ice cream. Shepherd told the lead chef at Josephine’s that it better NEVER come off the menu.
