A “Can’t-Miss” Event: Krill Restaurant & The Bar Host Exclusive Oyster Roast With Ryan Bethea
DURHAM, NC – Mark your calendars for an unforgettable culinary experience! Krill Restaurant and The Bar are bringing the coast to Durham with a one-of-a-kind Oyster Roast featuring Ryan Bethea, founder of Oysters Carolina. This extraordinary event will take place on Sunday, December 15, from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. at 506 Ramseur Street.
Why This Event Is Unmissable
Savor the Flavor: Hailing from the pristine waters of Harker’s Island, NC, Oysters Carolina oysters are celebrated for their bold, salty taste, thanks to the farm’s unique high-salinity environment. Each oyster is an authentic taste of the coast, meticulously harvested and delivered fresh the same day.
Meet the Visionary: Ryan Bethea, a Durham native and former teacher, left the classroom to revolutionize sustainable aquaculture. He’s not just growing oysters—he’s growing a healthier planet. Learn firsthand about his innovative farming practices that make his oysters a sustainable superfood and vital for cleaner waterways.
A Feast for the Planet: Every oyster you enjoy isn’t just delicious with their distinct flavor —it’s making a difference. Bethea’s oysters are an environmental powerhouse, filtering up to 50 gallons of water daily, promoting healthier aquatic ecosystems, and helping prevent harmful algae blooms.
Community Celebration: This event is more than an oyster roast—it’s a celebration of regional pride, sustainability, and the joy of sharing exceptional food with friends and neighbors.
Don’t Miss Out!
