Hey Nate,

You are on point with the crowds at this festival. Lots of people attended this year. It’s a good idea to come early for the parking.

How cool that you guys got to go as Foodie Correspondents! We went a couple years ago. It was fun, but very crowded. Not a good thing if you’ve got small kids in strollers.

We tasted a lot of bad chowders, a few good ones, and some rare great ones. IIRC, UC Santa Cruz Cafeteria did quite well that year. Neat to see that Good Sam won a few awards.

Man, the Chowder Festival was fun. It was pretty impressive that every single one of the chowders we tasted had its own unique taste, and that none of them were like the ones we were used to having in Monterey. Now I’m craving for some of Draegers Constructions Clam Chowder. I might just have to try and mimic their recipe!
