CANADA DAY AND THE OOF

Next week is Canada Day. We’re going to be closed on Monday June 29, and open for business on Wednesday July 1st with our normal business hours.  Celebrate your Patriotism by eating something that has no conception of human constructs like national geography, date or country border! The unassuming Oyster doesn’t concern itself with what are, to an Oyster, trivialities.

But neither does it care that we do.  What a noble beast.

Ontario Oyster Festival – OOF – tickets are here:  CLICK ON THIS LINK FOR YOUR TICKETS!

That’s the news.  Happy Canada Day to everyone.  We’ll raise a glass.  It really is a terrific country.
