Artisan Gourmet Oyster & Wine Pairing, Thurs (2/23), 7-9pm
Learn about oysters from the Lunnys, owners Drake's Bay oyster farm, and from the oyster team at Waterbar. Learn about wines from the Secret Wine Shop and local winemakers, who will be mingling with all of you. Each oyster will have our suggested wine pairing, but you will be able to taste and learn the different "meroir" and "terroir" combinations for yourself. Finally, learn about bay water sustainability from the Watershed Project.

Anthony Rizzi, Greg Babinecz, and Eric Hyman Waterbar will be shucking the oysters and creating the non-oyster edibles. What about the venue, you ask? For the experience junkie, we've arranged for you the very first Dottie's evening special event in their new location. It's 5x larger than the old location with 2 floors including a cozy wind-protected outdoor roof deck! Plus you'll get to meet owner Kurt Abne in person, for once not in the kitchen.

Advanced RSVP required. A portion of event proceeds will benefit the Watershed Project, a local organization promoting the restoration of lost native oyster populations to the San Francisco Bay Area.

Date/Time: Thursday, February 23rd, 7-9pm
Place: Dottie's True Blue Cafe
Address: 28-6th St. (@ Stevenson)
Valid: only by RSVP
Limit: 100 people

ABOUT DOTTIE'S TRUE BLUE CAFE

Owner Kurt Abner has been serving American Diner breakfast and lunch with a gourmet twist since 1993. Averaging 250 meals per day, 6 days a week, and only two short-order cooks in the kitchen, the production is a study of fantastic organization and zen. Classics include zucchini or black bean cakes with eggs, fresh veggie and sausage scrambles. Everything is made from scratch here, even the homemade toast and jam. The reliably good breakfast has created an international cult following ranked #7 thing to do in SF by Lonely Planet.
