I like the Manhattan version but think I prefer New England Clam Chowder a skoosh more . The soups/chowders were one of my favorite things about hunting on the Eastern Shore of Maryland every resteraunt over there had their own special secret recipe for Cream of crab soup . I’m a big big fan of Maryland Cream of Crab soups , not so much She Crab Soup however . Yes sir when I hunted in Maine I ate lobster darn near three times every day and when I hunted in Dorchester county MD I ate a lot of crab be it soup , crab cakes , eggs Chesapeake or some other derivative there of . FWIW I’ve been casing the menus of the eateries in Georgetown SC in anticipation ! Sure I enjoy the shooting but the EATING is quite important also

Craig, half the fun of going to the shoots is enjoying the local cuisine. We always had our favorite eateries wherever we went. As for chowder, I prefer the Manhattan style over New England any day. Not saying I won't order NE Style, but if I have my choice it'll be Manhattan style every time. Just like steak, twitching and au poivre.

Well you and I are kinda in the same boat ! We didn’t get our wonderful physiques by backing away from the dinner table
