Don’t miss this culinary shell game. As anyone who’s tried it knows, separating an oyster from its shell requires skill. Opening 24 oysters perfectly in no more than three minutes—well shucks, that requires remarkable skill. And remarkable skill is just what the G2E Mohegan Sun Oyster Open will test. Corey Harwell, general manager of Nine Fine Irishmen, the Pub at New York, New York Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas and Jasper White, owner of the Summer Shack in Boston, Cambridge and at Mohegan Sun, will emcee the finals. The competition will adhere to international shucking rules and regulations as defined at the International Oyster Opening Contest in Galway, Ireland.
