Sub the pickle relish for chopped dill pickles, and our recipe is the same! Sometimes I will add a pinch of Colemans dry mustard.

Back before I got lazy, I would add chopped sweet gherkins instead of the relish. Ive done it with dill pickles but I crave the sweetness since I dont get sugar from too many sources.

You could put them on a half shell. There is no requirement for them to be on a self made shell. They waste half of an oyster shell every time they shuck'em...

I'm trying to figure out if you're being serious or snarky, but presuming you're serious, most places that have raw bar options in Chicago typically have 4-6 varieties daily, split between east and west coast oysters.
It's tough to find the actual varieties listed on menus, since they may change daily and go out of stock quickly.
GT Fish and Oyster today lists:
- Cascadia - WA - medium, firm, medium brine, melon
- Coromandel - NZ - medium, plump, briny, cucumber
- Fanny Bay - BC - medium, tender, medium brine, sweet
- Beau Soleil - NB - medium, delicate, light salt, mineral
- Cotuit - MA - medium, firm, medium salt, sweet
- Wellfleet - MA - medium/large, tender, salty, savory
Eddie V's has:
- Bluepoint - Norwalk, CT Firm, Medium Brine, Light Mineral Finish
- Sea Kist - Dutch Harbor Jamestown, RI - Firm, Full Brine, Umami Finish
- East Beach Blonde - Charlestown, RI - Silky, Sweet Brine, Deep Mineral Finish
- Malpeque - Malpeque Bay, PEI Firm, Moderate Brine, and Clean Finish
- Henderson Bay - Henderson Bay, WA - Full, Sweet Brine and Mild Finish

I'm sure it is, but I can't get past the cupcakes! (I kid, slightly. I've also had the chocolate topped peanut butter rice krispy treats, which are also excellent.) Sadly Sweet Mandy B's is now a bit out of the ways for me, and there's a great local bakery that we support, but I am always happy when a friend comes over bearing their treats.

Toasted pumpernickel with melted havarti (open faced) is a guilty pleasure of mine.
Dinner tonight was osso bucco with risotto. Delicious, but probably a few more calories than either of us needed in anticipation of Thanksgiving. Mr. CE cooked.

Grilled cheese is probably my ultimate comfort food.
