They’re off and gorging at Oyster Bowl XIII, which drew an overflow crowd to the sidewalk outside the Blue Point Grill, a co-presenter of the event along with Nassau Broadcasting Partners. Winners of this year’s competition benefiting Komen for the Cure were Lizzy McDaniel, who got down 99, and Bill Forrest, who consumed 94, tops among males for the third year running.
