Oyster Challenge!

One of my absolute FAVORITE foods...OYSTERS! Todays challenge comes to us courtesy of the Acme Oyster House, a 100 year-old Louisiana seafood house. The challenge is to finish 15 dozen raw oysters within 1 hour. Definately possible if you ask me! If the challenge is conquered the reward is 1/2 off the price of the oysters, as well as membership to the 15 dozen club. Now let's talk stats. The challenge has been offered since the mid 1990s. Of the 300-400 attempts, less than 1/3 have completed the feat, however, official records were lost in hurricane Katrina. Interesting fact, the entire challenge equals to 6 pounds of raw oyster meat. WOW! Of the 1/3 that have beaten the challenge, Adam Richman was among them, finishing his 15 dozen oysters in a mere 20 minutes, he then ordered a Po-boy to-go. As if the challenge wasn't enough, Acme Oyster House also offers an oyster contest, which consists of 52 dozen!
