Vote for your favorite clam chowder in Massachusetts!
Just about every state on the East Coast has their own take of this seafood soup, but Massachusetts was where the New England variety (made with a thick, creamy broth) was popularized during the 1700 and 1800s. By 1836, the dish was on the menu at Ye Olde Union Oyster House, the oldest continuously operated restaurant in the nation. The version of clam chowder you’ll find on menus across the Bay State is typically made from clams, potatoes, onions and a base of milk or cream. Bacon or salt pork sometimes makes an appearance, and it’s often served with oyster crackers. Vote for your favorite clam chowder in Massachusetts once per day until voting ends on Tuesday, June 26 at noon ET. The 10 winning restaurants will be announced on Friday, July 6.
