Originally from Amsterdam, he moved to SoCal at 17 and dreamed of making it big in art. In 2008, he opened an NYC art gallery. Days later, the financial markets took a nosedive -- and took Meier’s hopes of art stardom along for the ride. By 2012, he was struggling to keep up in the art world and considering other options when a friend called him up and asked if he could help her shuck some oysters. “What do I know about oysters?” he said. “Except for that I love eating them.”</p> <div class="ad-inserter-target js-ad-inserter-target" data-modifier-class="u-standard-spacing" data-parent-element-index="2"></div> <p class="body-text__paragraph-text font--body has-spacing">That short exchange planted the seed for Meier’s next line of business. Five years later, he presides over <a href="http://oystersxo.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Oysters XO</a>, a unique catering company that specializes in shucking and serving oysters at events across the country.</p> <div class="ad-inserter-target js-ad-inserter-target" data-modifier-class="u-standard-spacing" data-parent-element-index="2"></div> <p class="body-text__paragraph-text font--body has-spacing">In conversation, Meier is hyper-animated, and he can talk about any number of topics before settling on one that really interests him. It’s easy to see how he might suddenly jump from selling art to shucking oysters, in turn ending up at some of the swankiest parties in America. All it took was a little know-how -- and some Craigslist ads.<img height="1" src="https://bcp.crwdcntrl.net/5/c=3558/b=43281387" width="1"></p> <div class="ad-inserter-target js-ad-inserter-target" data-modifier-class="u-standard-spacing" data-parent-element-index="2"></div> </div> </section> <div class="ad-inserter-target js-ad-inserter-target" data-parent-element-index="3"></div> <figure class="image image--standard has-spacing is-standard has-no-overlay clearfix" id="slide2" data-page-element-type="image" data-page-element-index="4"> <div class="image__clickthrough-wrapper js-image__wrapper clearfix"> <div class="image__clickthrough"> <picture class="picture picture--standard" > <source media="(min-width: 767px)" data-srcset="//assets3.thrillist.com/v1/image/2686307/size/tl-horizontal_main.jpg 1x, //assets3.thrillist.com/v1/image/2686307/size/tl-horizontal_main_2x.jpg 2x" /> <source media="(min-width: 0px)" data-srcset="//assets3.thrillist.com/v1/image/2686307/size/tmg-article_default_mobile.jpg 1x, //assets3.thrillist.com/v1/image/2686307/size/tmg-article_default_mobile_2x.jpg 2x" /> <img src="//assets3.thrillist.com/v1/image/2686307/size/tmg-article_default_mobile;jpeg_quality=20.jpg" class="lazyload" alt="" data-pin-url="https://www.thrillist.com/eat/nation/rifko-meiers-oysters-xo?utm_content=Rifko+Meier%E2%80%99s+Oysters+XO+Will+Hand+Deliver+Fresh+Oysters+at+Your+Next+Party&utm_source=pinterest&utm_medium=social-media&media=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.thrillist.com%2Fv1%2Fimage%2F2686307%2Fsize%2Ftmg-article_default_mobile%3Bjpeg_quality%3D20.jpg&description=Meet+the+man+behind+the+oysters-only+catering+service%2C+Oysters+XO+" aria-hidden="false" /> </picture> </div> <div class="image__overlay image__overlay--share-bar"> <div class="share-legend nation"> <ul class="share-wrap clearfix"> <li class='share-fb'> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thrillist.com%2Feat%2Fnation%2Frifko-meiers-oysters-xo%3Futm_content%3DRifko%2BMeier%25E2%2580%2599s%2BOysters%2BXO%2BWill%2BHand%2BDeliver%2BFresh%2BOysters%2Bat%2BYour%2BNext%2BParty%26utm_source%3Dfacebook%26utm_medium%3Dsocial-media" target=_blank data-ref="facebook-869" data-ga-position='default' data-hash='slide2' data-picture='//assets3.thrillist.com/v1/image/2686307/size/tmg-facebook_social.jpg' data-artemis-id='2686307' data-share-link="https://www.thrillist.com/eat/nation/rifko-meiers-oysters-xo?utm_content=Rifko+Meier%E2%80%99s+Oysters+XO+Will+Hand+Deliver+Fresh+Oysters+at+Your+Next+Party&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social-media"> <span class="text"> Share<span class="visually-hidden"> on Facebook</span> </span> </a> </li><li class='share-pinterest'> <a href="#" onClick="javascript:var params = (function() {var width = 785; var height= 381; var a = typeof window.screenX != 'undefined' ?

They shuck oysters right in front of their customers, providing any information you’d like to know about sourcing, flavor profiles, and tips for enjoying them.

This might sound somewhat daunting, given the nuances in flavor that exist between the varieties of oysters, but Rifko makes the process easier by allowing his chefs to eat as many as they’d like. “If a pastry chef just knows pastries, a grillmaster only grills -- our chefs just know oysters,” he says. “They are oyster sommeliers.”</p> <div class="ad-inserter-target js-ad-inserter-target" data-modifier-class="u-standard-spacing" data-parent-element-index="5"></div> </div> </section> <section class="body-text u-color--dark-gray u-color--food-&-drink-links font--body has-mobile-padding is-standard" data-page-element-type="body_text" data-page-element-index="6"> <div class="body-text__content"> <p class="body-text__paragraph-text font--body has-spacing">Now, Oysters XO employs 130 oyster chefs all across the country, and they’ve seen a lot of different vibes. They’ve attended both mega-parties and small gatherings alike. “One of the first events we did was the Superbowl at the Met Life stadium, and we brought something like 6,000 oysters to the VIP parties there,” he told us. Other highlights included serving oysters at the opening of the One World Trade Center, the premiere of <em>Hamilton</em> in LA, and a Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation fundraiser. “Telling people that you shucked an oyster and handed it to Hillary Clinton is pretty cool.”</p> <div class="ad-inserter-target js-ad-inserter-target" data-modifier-class="u-standard-spacing" data-parent-element-index="6"></div> </div> </section> <figure class="image image--standard has-spacing is-standard has-no-overlay clearfix" id="slide3" data-page-element-type="image" data-page-element-index="7"> <div class="image__clickthrough-wrapper js-image__wrapper clearfix"> <div class="image__clickthrough"> <picture class="picture picture--standard" > <source media="(min-width: 767px)" data-srcset="//assets3.thrillist.com/v1/image/2686308/size/tl-horizontal_main.jpg 1x, //assets3.thrillist.com/v1/image/2686308/size/tl-horizontal_main_2x.jpg 2x" /> <source media="(min-width: 0px)" data-srcset="//assets3.thrillist.com/v1/image/2686308/size/tmg-article_default_mobile.jpg 1x, //assets3.thrillist.com/v1/image/2686308/size/tmg-article_default_mobile_2x.jpg 2x" /> <img src="//assets3.thrillist.com/v1/image/2686308/size/tmg-article_default_mobile;jpeg_quality=20.jpg" class="lazyload" alt="" data-pin-url="https://www.thrillist.com/eat/nation/rifko-meiers-oysters-xo?utm_content=Rifko+Meier%E2%80%99s+Oysters+XO+Will+Hand+Deliver+Fresh+Oysters+at+Your+Next+Party&utm_source=pinterest&utm_medium=social-media&media=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.thrillist.com%2Fv1%2Fimage%2F2686308%2Fsize%2Ftmg-article_default_mobile%3Bjpeg_quality%3D20.jpg&description=Meet+the+man+behind+the+oysters-only+catering+service%2C+Oysters+XO+" aria-hidden="false" /> </picture> </div> <div class="image__overlay image__overlay--share-bar"> <div class="share-legend nation"> <ul class="share-wrap clearfix"> <li class='share-fb'> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thrillist.com%2Feat%2Fnation%2Frifko-meiers-oysters-xo%3Futm_content%3DRifko%2BMeier%25E2%2580%2599s%2BOysters%2BXO%2BWill%2BHand%2BDeliver%2BFresh%2BOysters%2Bat%2BYour%2BNext%2BParty%26utm_source%3Dfacebook%26utm_medium%3Dsocial-media" target=_blank data-ref="facebook-869" data-ga-position='default' data-hash='slide3' data-picture='//assets3.thrillist.com/v1/image/2686308/size/tmg-facebook_social.jpg' data-artemis-id='2686308' data-share-link="https://www.thrillist.com/eat/nation/rifko-meiers-oysters-xo?utm_content=Rifko+Meier%E2%80%99s+Oysters+XO+Will+Hand+Deliver+Fresh+Oysters+at+Your+Next+Party&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social-media"> <span class="text"> Share<span class="visually-hidden"> on Facebook</span> </span> </a> </li><li class='share-pinterest'> <a href="#" onClick="javascript:var params = (function() {var width = 785; var height= 381; var a = typeof window.screenX != 'undefined' ?
