I am still testing blogging software. Thought I would set this one up just in case.
But it really lives at http://www.chowderkids.com

Temple Grill – New Haven, CT
We went to New Haven on Sunday to see They Might Be Giants on The Green for the International Festival of Arts and Ideas which was fantastic in general. Living near New Haven has some big benefits if you take the time to seek them out!
Anyway. A great find was Temple Grill’s chowder. Unexpectedly good. It had copious amounts of fresh clams, chopped perfectly and seasoned nicely though a bit sparingly. The potatoes were firm and fresh. As noted, we have an issue with the thin chowders of Southern Connecticut but for what it was, it was quite good.
ChowderGirl hogged the whole bowl and is now passionately excited about going back for more.
Two thumbs up, Temple Grill!
Westfair Fish in Westport, CT
Very good – the experience took a long time. I understood why Westfair said to call ahead with your order.
So the chowder was very interesting. It was thin, but we are getting used to that. ChowderGirl was not impressed. As usual, ChowderBoy gave the experience a hundred and fifteen.
Ready, set, TASTE!
It’s funny. Since we started this, ChowderBoy has become enthusiastic about all chowder. He’s like a chowder optimist. He sees the good in all chowders. His sister seems to be going half empty. She’s highly critical of anything that is not her favorite kind.
ChowderDad and I had this experience with the Westfair chowder. We didn’t like it very much and it had an undefinable-to-us seasoning. But we couldn’t stop eating it. So I guess it wasn’t all bad.
The good news?!?! The chowder was $2.50/cup. That may well be the cheapest chowder yet.
