ADD QUOTES-
Alton: I hope we've given you oyster lovers a few tips to help give you more pleasure out of your bivalve experience. And if you've never tried oysters, well then I hope we've given you the courage to come out of your culinary shell and give these versatile mollusks a chance to become true good eats.

W: (giving Alton a protective glove) Plasticized, cotton with a rubberized palm. That'll help you grip the oyster and protect your hand. Alton: Are you saying I need to get a grip? W: I've been saying that for years.
-
Alton: Ah, oysters. Few foods generate such passion, devotion, downright revulsion. If you're a fan, there's nothing finer than slurping down one plucked fresh from the sea, all on a half shell. Nice, huh? If you're not a fan, however, the oyster is at best, a mystery. And at worst, it's a slimy mud slug enjoyed only by epicurean Evel Knievels.
