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.
