Chowda Meet & Eat - May 24!

On the heels of Yankee Magazine recently naming Chowdafest one of “8 New England Events You Can't-Miss This Summer”, Chowdafest announces their own “not to miss” event. For the first time, Chowdafest, presented by Stop & Shop, will allow a limited number of passionate foodies and fans of the event, to get a sneak peek into some of the new restaurants and chefs competing this fall. “We call it a “meet & eat,” said Jim Keenan, executive director of Chowdafest. “Only 100 fans will get to sample new chowders, soups & bisque from outstanding chefs & restaurants new to the competition. It's a great opportunity to meet the chefs and gain some insight on how they hope to win this fall”
