Pearl Found In Restaurant Oyster For Second Time In Month: Report

WILLIAMSBURG, NY – There are some gems of meals being served in the city this Christmas. For the second time in a month, a diner has bitten into an oyster served in restaurant – and found a pearl.

The latest treasure was discovered at the Williamsburg eatery Maison Premiere on Bedford Ave., the New York Post reported. Kristin Pulaski, 29, told the newspaper she felt something hard in an oyster that she bit into on Dec. 15.

“My first thought was, ‘Is this like a screw or something in here?’ ” she told the paper. “And I took it out and saw that it couldn’t have been anything else [but a pearl]. It was pearly white and round.”

Earlier this month, Rick Antosh, 66, chewed an oyster in the Grand Central Oyster Bar and bit down on a pearl thought to be worth $4,000.

An appraiser told Pulaski her the pearl was lumpy and wouldn't be worth a fortune, but she intends to have some statement jewelry made out of it, she told the Post. The restaurant's owner told the paper this was the first pearl he knew of that had been found there in eight years.
