The Tides Inn is kicking off Spring with Crustacean Celebration, a weekend of fun of feasting, Friday, April 23 and Saturday, April 24. Guest Chef and Live Fire Expert, Eric Gephart of Kamado Joe Grills, will team up with the Tides Inn Executive Chef, Truman Jones for a welcome gathering Friday night, followed by a Saturday afternoon and evening of epicurean delights and demos dedicated to Chesapeake Bay Blue Crabs, the crustacean delicacies that are native to region. The weekend begins with a Friday evening rosé-inspired “Pink Party”, a meet-and-greet reception in the resort’s new Chef’s Kitchen. Guests are encouraged to dress with the theme and will enjoy creative live cooked canapes, rosé, and a signature cocktail. The Crustacean Celebration’s main event will take place on the resort’s beautiful shoreline Saturday afternoon. Attendees will learn tips and tricks as they partake in this Kamado Joe Class celebrating delicious crustaceans. The chefs will demonstrate their cooking techniques including a pro-approach to cooking blue crabs and lobster tails, making this a hands-on and interactive “edutainment” event. Guests will also be treated to delicious dishes featuring scallops, oysters, shrimp, and lots more. And to top it off, The Tides Inn’s vintage bar cart, Rosie, will be serving up fun and creative cocktails including a Blue Crab Bloody Mary. That evening guests can head over to Fish Hawk Oyster Bar for “Tides After Hours” for sweet treats and a night cap.
