Aug. 27--The 27th annual Oyster Fest by Shaw's Crab House doesn't take place until Sept. 11, but you can get a preview at lunch today.
Starting at 11 a.m., the fest will pop up at The Garage (116 N. Aberdeen St.), the West Loop food-truck hub, selling fresh-shucked oysters ($1), lobster rolls ($14), clam chowder ($4) and combinations thereof.
In honor of the upcoming fest's 27th year (it was formerly known as Royster with the Oyster), the first 27 customers will receive free tickets (worth $30) to Oyster Fest.
