THE RUSTON WAY RESTAURANT HAS OYSTERS ON THE BRAIN >>>
An oyster is the ultimate appetizer - a little daring, an intense spurt of flavor and aroma that connects with your senses and all your nerve endings; eating a fresh oyster is the most efficient way to whet an appetite. Your mouth is awake, and even after inhaling a half-dozen or so, you may be sated, but you won't feel full. Oysters exude the aura of exotica, of opulence, and of lust.
C.I. Shenanigans on Tacoma's Ruston Way knows this. For the next couple of months you'll see their special oyster promotions sheet when you open their menu. Six different fresh shucked oysters, two appetizers, one sandwich and two oyster entrees will taunt you. I recently fired up their Bacon Wrapped Oysters entree - six juicy farmed raised Samish Bay oysters (the day's selected oyster) marinated in wine and wrapped in salty, chewy bacon - with a delicious Israeli cous cous and perfectly cooked broccolini for $14. It was love at first bite ... after bite ... after bite.
