Calling all Chowda Heads!!!

GOT CHOWDAH?
The first of Newport's array of summer festivals, the 25th Annual Schweppes Great Chowder Cook-off will features over 3000 gallons of chowder served up by over 30 of the nation's best restaurants and chefs! The 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!
