Episode Description

The gang's all here! Eli, Marisa and Dave are back together with Best Bites, food events and dinner pop-ups, and a guest whose restaurant is a longtime favorite of this podcast (and a nominee at The Tasties!). Sam Mink dives into the rich history of Oyster House, from the original location to the current faves on the menu that have kept Philadelphians coming back for over 50 years. Hear about different types of oysters and why they're so succulent, how Sam found out that the restaurant was honored by the James Beard Awards, and what's next for the Sansom Street staple.
