MacKenzie’s High Ridge Road in Stamford

While the kids played at the Parrot, I went to dinner with our creative director and big boss men. Turns out our Creative Director is a chowder aficionado. He provided great recommendations on Connecticut based chowder locations.

The chowder at MacKenzie’s was good in a lot of ways. Nice and thick and creamy. Good potatoes, could have used more clams and they weren’t super fresh but it was generally tasty.

I think Tony’s perhaps wrecked us for other chowders now. I am desperately seeking seasonings.

ChowderGrandma brought the kids to the Cape. Naturally, she took them out to dinner. They went to the Parrot in Cataumet.

ChowderGirl just had some of her grandmother’s chowder at dinner – not her own bowl. She’s watching Animal Planet now so she might not give an ideal review.

She just nods at everything I say about it. “Was it good?” nod “Did it have a lot of clams in it?” nod “Did it have good seasonings?” nod “Did it have pickles in it?” nod.

Clearly not paying attention. We have to run out today – maybe we will swing by and try a cup and get a proper review going. Or ask again when she’s not zombified by “It’s Me Or The Dog.”
