Welcome to Week 44 of 2019. Chef Works® Weekly Bites is where we take a dive into the notable and fun food stories of the week.
First up is guess the quote: “Food is the most primitive form of comfort.” (Do you know who said it? Answer at the bottom).
APPETIZER
This week we start off with something a little romantic. A couple in New Jersey went out to dinner – only to make an extremely stunning, and extremely rare, discovery during their oyster course.
An employee with the Empire Oyster service, which sources and serves oysters at Stern & Bow, said it was an extremely rare find — especially for the type of oyster Anton was eating, which came from Washington State.
You can read the rest of the story from the New York Post here.

DESSERT
It’s not quite Halloween, yet everyone seems to be in the Christmas mood and Christmas mode. That means lights are up, decorations are out and the seasonal trends are starting to take shape. So we figured we pass along this story, by way of People, about Oreo holiday houses. Enjoy!
FOUND THE FORK
Our vice president of marketing, Amanda Stuckey, has been hanging out the last couple of weeks at the Hawaii Food & Wine Festival, soaking up the sun, the bites and the island vibes. We loved having our gear on display as the event’s official culinary sponsor.
