Meetup: BBQ & Bivalves at Blue Smoke

What’s better than oysters on the half shell? Oysters and pork, of course!

Join us at the next NY Oyster Lovers Meetup, where we’re going to put a twist on the traditional surf & turf with an oyster & BBQ dinner at Blue Smoke. This will take place at the original Blue Smoke (116 E. 27th St) on Tuesday, Sept 18 at 6:30 pm. Danny Meyer’s famed temple to smoke has a newly revamped oyster program, so if you haven’t tried the restaurant yet, this is the perfect chance to dig in. Chef Eddie Montalvo has created the following menu for us, including an oyster pan roast and oyster cornbread stuffing. This will be served family-style, a great way to try everything and get to know your neighbors too!

First Course:
Warm barbecue potato chips with blue cheese and bacon dip
Chilled East and West Coast oysters
-Cocktail sauce
-Mignonette
-Cholula hot sauce
-Housemade tarragon mayonnaise

Third Course:
