Several years ago I was a regular at Taylor's Chowder House, then moved away. I remember the food being quite good which was why we kept coming back.
I had the extreme pleasure to drop by for lunch 2 days before Christmas. I was greeted with the odor of cigarette smoke, likely from the American Legion. Don't those folks know that smoking can be hazardous to your health? Anyway, Taylor's offered their annual Holiday Chowder. This is one of the most rich and delectable chowders I have ever consumed. It consisted of their regular New England with just a few extras, cod, salmon, brandy, shrimp, and most anything else you can think of. There just is no way to top this chowder, other than with crackers.
It is a bit pricey. But it is the food you are buying and that is worth it.
