Oyster Heaven

The KHUM folks also awarded their own special prizes: a best non-oyster prize went to Curley’s for a delicious caramel-dipped apple drizzled with white and dark chocolate and nuts. (Sweet!) And another went to Oberon Café for “Ode to Grove,” a grilled oyster with Cypress Grove chevre and a baked apple slice.

You say you’ve never heard of the Oberon Café? The name is more than a century old, but the establishment is brand new. To be more precise, it’s not yet open, but is ready to go in the space in Old Town across from the Vance once occupied by Pacific Flavors. Stop by on the Fourth of July for a preview, and watch for breakfast, lunch and dinner (including steaks cut from local grass-fed beef) soon thereafter.

Didn’t I tell you the Oyster Fest is a good source for restaurant news? And the oysters were excellent all around — hell, downright heavenly in some cases.
