In 2022, I taught my first oyster master class in Europe. In 2023, I will teach my first oyster master class in the Middle East. 🙌 Heading to Dubai next week for the Dibba Bay Oyster Festival!

Does anyone know how long it takes to walk from the Brussels-Zaventem train station to Terminal 2? I arrive to the station at 9:50 and my flight departs at 10:45. Carry-on only. Will I make it?

@LizZakos @MonicaASamuels Mercado de l'Olivar in Palma is where you can go to dine on and/or buy oysters to shuck! But the variety is going to be fairly limited on the island.

So happy to meet @MonicaASamuels in Mallorca 🥰🥰🥰

At the #ParabereForumPalma2022 and loved this magical tour of ancient olive groves and tasting of olive oil (from 800 year old trees) & upcycled olive leaves products (matcha, dust, infused water). 🙏 Very grateful for this experience @ParabereForum

Heading to Mallorca tomorrow. What should I eat?

@emilyseaside The antithesis of brand is commodity, which is basically 99.999% of the seafood category. A brand is now a 2 way street — a conversation, and frankly, a lot of US consumers are ignored. Hopefully industry leaders will listen instead of talk talk talk talk talk.

The bogavante pasta and fresh tomato dish at Villa Capri is wonderful. #Madrid #seafooddish

@MonicaASamuels @merchantofvice In my home state? ¿Por qué?

Waking up 1 hr before departure and being able to arrive to the gate with 1 min to spare before boarding begins, inclusive of slow security and "end of the terminal" gate. Euphoric or terrifying?

Nothing like receiving some good old fashioned mansplaining first thing in the morning! 🙃
