Yesterday, probably the world’s most well-known aphrodisiac cuisine, the oyster, celebrated its very own holiday, National Oyster Day. For those looking for an amorous evening it’s no longer necessary to slurp down some oysters in mignonette sauce. Chefs have paid homage to this tasty mollusk with elegant creations and some surprising ingredients. If you missed this honor to the tasty mollusc there’s still time to tantalize your tastebuds with these exceptional creatures. TravelsinTaste shares some of our favorite oyster preparations from across the country.

Also at ARIA Chef Masa Takayama’s recently opened teppan concept, Tetsu, lets guests indulge in an intimate dining experience featuring highly skilled teppan chefs overseeing six grills and a produce table where one can select the proteins for your entrée.
