Oyster Tour

Day 18 When the Highlandtown aioli is elevated you know you’re eating fried oysters at The Chasseur

Baltimore Positive

As an East Baltimore lifer, Nestor Aparicio loves going to his favorite places owned by old friends. On Day 18, once he heard the Highlandtown aioli was elevated he knew he’d be seeking out his old Berkshire chum Brian Eder for some fried oysters at The Chasseur, high on the Highland Street hill at Foster.

Day 17 Going chargrilled with truffle butter at The Local on The Avenue in White Marsh

Now with two great locations, it only made perfect sense to return to The Local on The Avenue at White Marsh to visit with my old soccer pal Lou Petrucci and explore the chargrilled oysters with truffle butter on a perfect 17th day of the Maryland Oyster Tour.

Baltimore Positive

We’ve done the Maryland Crab Cake Tour from Nick’s Grandstand Grill atop the grandstand of the Timonium race course and the attached OTB a few times. So, naturally we’re back looking for Tommy! A great spot to get six on the half!

Day 15 Going fully French at True Chesapeake for cheesy, onion oyster perfection

Baltimore Positive

We ate oysters every day for 26 days to celebrate 26 years of WNST awesomess with our friends from Curio Wellness and Liberty Pure Solutons. Nothing was finer than the brunch french onion soup grilled treat at True Chesapeake for cheesy, oniony oyster perfection.

Day 13 Going with The Bull oyster rock star shooter at The Walrus in Columbia

Baltimore Positive

In the spirit of mixing it up every day on 26 in 26 days to celebrate 26 years of WNST and Baltimore Positive, the lucky thirteen day was spent with our pal John Allen of Stone Horses (and Child’s Play) rock and roll fame and “The Bull” with a two-part oyster shooter at The Walrus in Columbia. It was no bull.

On Day 11, this was a quick stop and going back to the bull roast basics of how we learned about shucked and raw oysters at Conrad’s in Perry Hall – and trying to figure out what’s in a mignonette oyster dressing besides the zesty!

Day 4: Maryland Oyster Tour A divine brunch in Hampden with fritter Benedict deliciousness

Nestor Aparicio

We can’t say that we’ve ever had an oyster fritter. And certainly never on savory french toast covered with a perfectly poached egg glazed in scrumptious velvety Hollandaise. Day 4 of The Maryland Oyster Tour took Nestor to Hampden and the absolutely divine oyster fritter and eggs Benedict at The Urban Oyster on The Avenue for Sunday brunch. This might’ve been the best thing we tasted on the tour!

Day 5 Maryland Oyster Tour: Enjoying a rich bowl of oyster stew at Ryleigh’s Oyster in Timonium

Baltimore Positive

When is the last time you ordered oyster stew – or even found it on a menu? It’s that time of the year. On Day 5 of the Maryland Oyster Tour, Nestor got happy during a Happy Hour at Ryleigh’s Oyster in Timonium. Creamy. Buttery. Delicious. Especially with those little oyster crackers!
