Who: The team at Row 34 Portsmouth is thrilled to host friend and oyster expert, Rowan Jacobsen, to celebrate the launch of his new book, The Essential Oyster: A Salty Appreciation of Taste and Temptation. A decade ago, Rowan Jacobsen wrote a book called A Geography of Oysters that celebrated the romance of oysters, the primal rush of slurping a raw denizen of the sea, and the mysteries of molluscan terroir. The book won the James Beard Award in 2007. He is the author of Apples of Uncommon Character, Fruitless Fall, The Living Shore, and American Terroir. He has written for the New York Times, Harper’s, Outside, Mother Jones, and others. He maintains the world’s two leading web sources on oysters: Oysterguide (for his opinions) and Oysterater (for everybody else’s).
