For @nytcooking I wrote about Moody Harney, Brooklyn's Real Mother Shucker, who teaches and embodies NYC's Black oyster history.

I learned so much writing this story and Moody gave me maybe my favorite kicker of all time 😂

🎃 Abbott & Costello meet ... Ben Schwartz! 🧟‍♂️ @benschwartz_

As long as Bob Hope is trending, I'll put this out there: I'd love to write a piece on Bob's actual politics. He's often claimed by the right, but he was pro gay rights, pro union, pro gun control, anti-McCarthy, and for amnesty for Vietnam draft resistors. He'd be a Dem now. DM!
