Oyster House to launch "Oysters 101" courses in January

Sharpen your pencil, grab your shucking knife and head to Oyster House (1516 Sansom St., 215-567-7683) for an "Oysters 101" course this January. Taught by general manager Daniel Elliott, the class will cover topics such as oyster anatomy, history, sustainability, differences in species, classic sauces/garnishes, wine and beer pairings and (our favorite aspect) a Biggie vs. Pac-style East Coast-West coast bivalve breakdown. Classes are $30 per person and meet Jan. 8, 15, 22 and 29 from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. Each program "graduate" will receive an Oyster House "Eat Oysters, Love Longer" shirt (above). Reservations are required.
