A special culinary event is bringing oysters together from across the country.

Metro Times' Inaugural Shuck Yeah! will be on Friday, August 25 at Roostertail. Several local restaurants will bring their oyster A-game for a celebration of all things oyster. The night will also include craft cocktails and beer and live music.
