Delicious City Philly

Chef Eli is out this episode...again, BUT he set up a succulent surprise for Marisa and Dave. Get ready for some serious oyster ASMR… Plus shucking tips, best bar bites, and we warm up our pipes for karaoke!

• (03:18) Our producer Sara reveals that Eli’s got a tasty surprise guest lined up: we're talking about Oyster House's own G-Shucks, aka Gary McCready, the man who’s shucked over a million oysters, and of course he brought Jersey-grown treats for the crew. We cover east coast vs. west coast, various spots he’s shucked at, and why he loves to share these oceanic gems with the world
• (10:20) In-studio oyster shucking begins. Gary teaches us the correct way to shuck, what to look for in an oyster, and creative accompaniments you can try. Check our Instagram this week to see him in action! @deliciouscitypodcast
