Despite 25 years of eating and drinking (okay mostly drinking) at the Kidd in Woods Hole, we never did an official chowder review there. Today’s the day, kids.

While we waited for our chowder and drank our lemonade (kids) and Anchor Steam (grown ups), we admired the colorful dog ChowderBoy won last night at Papa Gino’s. He must be some kind of savant with those machines.

The chowder arrived and ChowderDad’s first review was “oh dear”.
No one liked it at all. I was surprised. It had some interesting seasonings but ChowderBoy had to load it up with salt to enjoy it at all. It was thick and tasty and filled with nice clams. It had all the markings of a great chowder and yet, left us all flat.
We do love the Anchor Steam on tap, and frankly, enjoying the Kidd is a worthwhile endeavor, no matter what the outcome of the chowder. We had a great day and enjoyed it.
However, at the end of the meal, we all sat around talking about the chowders we’ve had that we loved more than the chowder at The Kidd. There was a long list. 
The chowder wasn't great but the company was sublime.
