HOUSTON — Julep will host their 5th annual Oyster Shucking Contest which will take place on Monday, June 14, starting from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m at their location on 1919 Washington Ave.
This Oyster Shucking competition is open to the pros, chefs, oyster aficionados, and guests. The winner of this competition will be awarded prizes from Williams Sonoma and become the 2021 Oyster Shucking Champ.
There is no extra cost for the evening's festivities, and spectators will not only be allowed to witness the competition in person but also enjoy $1 oysters all night long. They will be fresh oysters and not the ones that used in the contest. Cocktail specials are available from the evening's beverage partners, which can be enjoyed for just an hour starting from 5 p.m.
Among the competitors' names in the 5th annual Oyster Shucking Contest are Jean-Philippe Gaston, Evelyn Garcia, Dylan McShan, Benjamin "The Opener" Quasius, Lindsey Fuquen, Lawrence Walker, Mary Bass, Felix Casto, Kate McLean, and Alvin Schultz. Some of them have competed before and are ready to showcase their oysters' shucking skills in the event.
Their previous contest in July 2019 had a tough lineup of contenders, including Chef Mary Bass of Galveston, Jearin Felix Castro of 1751 Sea and Bar, Evelyn Garcia of Decatur Bar & Pop-Up Factory, Ryan Lachaine of Riel Restaurant, Dominick Lee of Poitín Bar & Kitchen, Kate McLean, Ben Quasius, Jonny Rhodes of Restaurant indigo, Robin Wong of Blood Bros BBQ, Ed Roberts of The Union Kitchen, and Stephanie Roberts of Julep Bar Houston.
