To ward off the dreary, cold weather and celebrate the fact that it's "National Clam Chowder Day", I suggest that you put on your comfy clothes, bundle up and head out into this endless rain and treat yourself to a great steamy cup of chowder.
New England clam chowder is typically made with potatoes, onion, bacon, flour and clams. And, while we all inherently know that adding tomatoes to clam chowder is strictly forbidden, a seldom known fact is that in Maine introduced a bill to legislature in 1939 bill making tomatoes in clam chowder illegal!
Here are some of the places we think do it best:
