Foodies tuning into the Cooking Channel tomorrow night will be treated a taste of Wellfleet on the series "United Tastes of America". Host Jeffery Saad visited the Wellfleet OysterFest last October and an episode on one of the Cape's favorite fall festivals will air at 10 p.m. tonight (Tuesday, February 21).

According to Michele Insley, SPAT (Shellfish Promotion and Tasting) Manager, the episode will feature World Oyster Champ William "Chopper" Young Jr.  teaching Saad how to shuck Wellfleet-style.

Several other well-known locals will be featured in the show including Mac Hay, owner of Mac's Seafood and SPAT President, Chef Barton Seaver, author of "For Cod and Country", Shellfisherman Bob Wallace, Katy Kmiec of Hatch's Fish Market and Chef Philippe Rispoli of the very popular PB Boulangerie.

The very popular Wellfleet OysterFest, sponsored by SPAT is held each October and features a variety of events, incredible food and the not-to-be-missed shucking contest, or shuck off.
