Our happy-hour pick this week takes us past the rows of grocery carts, by the lily bunches in the floral station, not far from the organic Pink Lady apples in the produce aisle ($1.99 per pound, by the way). Yeah, we threw a few back at Whole Foods Market in Westlake recently. No kidding; feel free to insert your own "whole paycheck" joke.
It's 50-cent wings this particular Wednesday night. It will be street food later this month. Its raison d'être, though, is the 69-cent oyster happy hour. Happens about twice a month in the store's cafe. It's an event that oyster lovers plan their schedule around. The line starts forming about 15 minutes before the oysters are served.
Last week, the oyster choices were Barron Point, from Puget Sound — meaty, buttery and sweet, served with lemon wedges, cocktail sauce, horseradish cream and a daikon-cucumber-wasabi blend.
These were plump, not the small, discarded oysters that often end up on the menu at $1 oyster happy hours.
