I think oysters are overrated, and I don't love the texture.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
No oyster in the world tastes as good as a Gulf oyster.
I'm not crazy about oysters and offal and brains and stuff like that. It's vegetables that I really like. I worked in the River Cafe restaurant when it first opened, and I used to eat the leftover vegetables on the plates. They were so delicious.
It's important that your shucked oyster is clean and pristine.
Some feel as though the world is their oyster; others feel as though they were the oyster itself, plucked from the ocean, cracked open, and robbed of all that is precious to them.
You don't do oysters and red wine together. That's a no-no; you just don't do that. I love a nice white wine with oysters.
I can't think of anyone I admire who isn't fuelled by self-doubt. It's an essential ingredient. It's the grit in the oyster.
I had rather be an oyster than a man, the most stupid and senseless of animals.
New England oysters are better than Chesapeake. But Chesapeake blue crabs are unbeatable.
A typical Christmas is me shucking oysters. I love them and I always get them in at Christmas.
I really like oysters, and I won't eat them alone. They're just a weird thing to eat by yourself.
