If last week’s refurbishing of our weekly shucks wasn’t indication enough, we’ve been feeling happy happy lately. Something about a warm summer day that necessitates cold freshly shucked oysters, and whole lot of them. Although we do favor an occasional splurge on the cream of the crop with our dear [...]

A warm summer day, a beach side restaurant with oysters, and a glass of stifling cold rose wine, although definitively subjective, is how we would describe perfection. Add a few tiki torches, a boat turned bar, and a gorgeous view, and what you have is the new East End pop [...]

Perhaps for a few small details that strayed from our ideal evening in Montauk, we always enjoyed stopping by the Surf Lodge for the culinary preparations by Chef Sam Talbot.

Although we always prefer our oysters in their birthday suites, minus perhaps for the occasional slight squirt of a lemon, all the various preparations and recipes out there can be intriguing. We have thrown them on the grill before, and have even ordered them cooked in restaurants, but never have [...]

It all began on November 22, 1969 when two coaches faced each other for the very first time. Bo Schembechler led The University of Michigan Wolverines to victory against Woody Hayes of the Ohio State Buckeyes, commencing a 10 year war and creating what would later be deemed as the [...]
