Theo’s Steak, Sides & Spirits owner Chris Agharabi, right, and Executive Chef Harley Peet, left, recently accepted a plaque from the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum (CBMM) for winning the oyster stew competition at CBMM’s 2013 OysterFest celebration.
Six restaurants competed, with more than 500 participants taking part in blind taste tests and voting by ballot for their favorite stew. Theo’s Steaks was served as stew ‘F’ in the tastings. OysterFest participants also picked Roy’s Kwick Korner, from Glen Burnie (stew ‘D’) as second, with third place going to Bistro of St. Michaels, (stew ‘C’).
The next OysterFest is scheduled for October 25, 2014 at CBMM’s waterfront campus in St. Michaels, MD. More info at www.cbmm.org.
