GOT CHOWDAH?
The first of Newport's array of summer festivals, the Annual Schweppes Great Chowder Cook-off features over 3000 gallons of chowder served up by over 30 of the nation's best restaurants and chefs! Restaurants compete for over $10,000 in prizes by entering into one of two Culinary Competitions: First, is the Chowdah competition where chefs enter their specialty chowder in one of three categories - best clam, seafood or creative chowder. Second, is the Clam Cake Competition where chefs fry up the fluffiest and heartiest Clam Cake recipes.
