Oyster eating contest at Fish City Grill this weekend
On Saturday, Nov. 8, Fish City Grill will host its 5th annual Oyster Eating Contest to kick off Oysterfest and the 2014 oyster season. The event will be held at Fish City Grill in Las Colinas, 7750 North MacArthur, from noon to 5 p.m., with the eating contest starting at 3 p.m.
The annual Oyster Eating Contest pits teams of four against one another for two minutes of oyster eating; each team member slurps pre-shucked oysters for 30 seconds in a relay. It’s a charity deal, so each team is required to pledge a minimum of $300, with all proceeds from the contest donated to Irving Cares. The winning team receives a cash prize of $1,000 and a trophy.
Contestants must submit their application by 5 p.m. on Friday, November 7, to Gje Greene at gje@fishcitygrill.com.
