"The festival is so much fun, the food is unbelievable, this year I have six raw bars and they're all local. One is 401 Oyster Company, Aquidneck Oyster Farm, Bean Family Catering, Blue Rock Catering, the Rhode Island Shell Fisherman, Shuck and Truck," she xplained. "And then we have lobsters, lobster rolls, lobster grilled cheese, and every chowder you can think of."
