Shuck & Swallow Challenge
Benefiting the Marine Mammal Center

McCormick & Kuleto’s Seafood Restaurant has announced their 16th annual Shuck & Swallow Oyster Challenge, with an oyster and wine pairing benefit event immediately following the competition, to be held on Tuesday, October 6th.

The oyster and wine pairing will benefit The Marine Mammal Center and will be held at McCormick & Kuleto’s Seafood Restaurant at 900 North Point in San Francisco. The pairing will run from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Tickets, available at the door, are $30.00 per person with the net proceeds being donated to The Marine Mammal Center.

The oyster competition involves approximately a dozen teams, each consisting of two members from various Bay Area restaurants, competing to shuck and eat as many oysters as possible in 10 minutes. The current record is just under 200. Viewing the competition is free and begins at 5:00 p.m.

The judges’ panel will include members of The Marine Mammal Center. Bay Area radio personality Sterling James will be returning for the twelfth year in a row as this year’s Master of Ceremonies. Event co-sponsors include Ghirardelli Square.
