FIRST Food & Bar Hosts 2nd Annual Shuck & Swallow Charity Event

FIRST Food & Bar is hosting the second annual Shuck & Swallow event – a charity event that finds Vegas’ top chefs in a battle to see who can shuck and swallow the most oysters within 10 minutes. The winner will receive a Shuck & Swallow trophy… and of course bragging rights.

Last year’s winners, FIRST Food & Bar will be on hand to support and encourage. Chef Rob Ryan ate 94 oysters in 10 minutes.

Participants include B&B Ristorante, Carnevino, Dos Caminos, Mon Ami Gabi, RM Seafood and many more.

The event will see the return of X1075’s Dave and Mahoney Morning Show as emcees.
