With Conde Nast readers dubbing Charleston the “Best City in America”, it’s no wonder why Travel Channel celebrity and food explorer, Andrew Zimmern would cruise through town. With Amen Street Fish & Raw Bar serving the best local oysters, it’s also no wonder why Mr. Zimmern would stop by to sample their raw bar selections.
Just 2 weeks ago, Andrew Zimmern and his crew from Bizarre Foods visited the Holy City, making a stop at some of the city’s best restaurants. While chatting with the City Paper, he praised Charleston for its unique and delicious cuisine- unique, being the key factor in featuring Charleston on his show.
Before sampling Amen Street’s oysters, Andrew visited their supplier in Bulls Bay, an area north of Mount Pleasant known for the lowcountry’s best oyster harvest. Because of Amen Street's committment to local, sustainable seafood, they regularly feature Bulls Bay Oysters on their menu. Their quick, delicious preparation, homemade condiments, cold beer and chic, unique bar combine for a perfectly bizarre
oyster experience. Amen Street’s Travel Channel debut will be in the winter of 2012. Make sure to tune in and see Andrew Zimmern shuckin’ oysters at Amen.
