Clubhouse Eats is a series that celebrates the tastiest food and drinks in the game of golf. At 3’s, a 12-hole short course in Greenville, S.C., chef Chris Wehking has created a unique dish that combines pizza flavors with oysters. Inspired by a clam and pepperoni dish he tried in Charleston, Wehking developed the pizza oyster which features house-made pepperoni butter on top of large and meaty Virginia oysters.
Creating the pizza oysters involves shucking the oysters, adding pepperoni butter and grated parmesan cheese, and broiling them for a quick 90-second cook. Wehking emphasizes the importance of not overcooking the oysters to retain their meatiness, juiciness, and flavor. He then tops the oysters with garlic breadcrumbs and fresh parsley before serving them with a squeeze of lemon for an added kick.
In addition to their unique pizza oysters, 3’s short-course concept is expanding to Charlotte with plans to open in 2025. The restaurant’s innovative approach to combining different flavors and textures in their dishes has garnered attention and praise from golfers and food enthusiasts alike. Wehking’s attention to detail and commitment to quality ingredients set 3’s apart as a must-visit destination for those seeking a unique culinary experience.
The video tutorial accompanying this article showcases Wehking’s expert technique in preparing the pizza oysters, highlighting the precision and creativity that goes into each dish. By bringing together unexpected ingredients like pizza flavors and oysters, 3’s has succeeded in creating a signature dish that is both delicious and memorable for diners.
