ChowdaFest 2012 in Westport, CT is COMING SOON!!!!

We are so excited for next weekend! It is going to be a crazy busy weekend but featuring one of our favorite local events.

ChowdaFest is being held at Bedford Middle School in Westport again this year. The first year we went, it was at the Unitarian Church in Westport and it was wonderful but a bit tight! Last year, they moved to the cafeteria and it was much better.

We’re happy to see it back in the middle school cafeteria this year. We plan on getting there bright and early so we can get situated and find. We’ll be tweeting our thoughts all day – follow along @chowderkids.

Looking over the list of the restaurants, we see a few favorites, a few places we’ve reviewed and panned, and a few new and exciting places.

Links to all of the restaurants, check em out!

Have you tried any of these places? Who do you think has the best chance at winning our hearts?

And what on earth is Super Duper Weenie doing on there? Scary.

Savin Rock Roasting Company Stratford CT

We have tried to eat at this location maybe 5 times. We go there when it changes hands, hoping it will be better. But it’s not great. And I REALLY wish it wasn’t. The chowder was terrible, the drinks were unimpressive, and our sandwiches were just blech. We won’t go back. And that stinks because it is in such a great location.

Chowder Dad says it needs salt but then we always want extra salt on everything. And it is way too floury.

Chowder Girl says “This chowder is a bit too floury It has enough cream. And needs a touch more of salt. The potatoes were not really very present.”

ChowderBoy says “It is chunky. Tasty, a thousand percent good. That’s all. It’s just too tasty!” He must have just been so happy to have a birthday party at Laser Tag that it burned out his brain.
