Brewster,
Good luck, Unfortunately I am stuck in Michigan awaiting the thaw- we are suppose to finally have a thaw this weekend- first one since last year. I am licking my chops imagining the smell of the chowder.
Have fun

But don't worry, it'll pass.

The event was well attended. The judges were: The local radio station w/radio 'personalities', a state assemblyman and a food critic from the New York Times. Oh, yeah, some jerk from "save the bay" kinda thing. There must a have been five hundred people. I had to park way out on the access road. Geez, what a mob.

I finally got to Brewster's table thru the mob and he had four offerings. Manhattan clam chowder, New England clam chowder, lobster bisque and something else. Well let me tell you. It would make us proud. No one had four enteries. And all just wonderful. The man is a cullinary master. And four bright young men serving. All dress up in fine kitchen duds.

"So where is Brewster?'

"He's over to the left side of the bar in the other room. Holding a fishing seminar".

But the host, the Snapper Inn took the prizes. Brew finished in the money. Not good enough for him. He comes first. You know, the host resturant should not win . Shouldn't even be in the contest. The judges were ass kissing the owner. No doubt about it. I'm gonna' sent a protest letter!

Holy cow! It was just like the UVI tournements. I mean these outings are over before they start. I remenber that when RussP's wife came in with the biggest fish, she didn't win. You know who said, " she didn't win because there was no "womans' division".

I want justice. We want justice. In the mean time, "Atta' boy Brew".

good report dick....im sure brews was the best!!

Brew would have cleaned up if there was a people's choice award.
There was some good competition, but the "house" offerings seemed a bit thin and watery for my tastes. Michelle, (my girlfriend) rated Brew's Manhattan Clam Chowder and Lobster Bisque as her favorites, but gave a slight nod to the New England Clam Chowder form Porter's. I value her opinion as I do not do clam chowder or anything else clam for that matter, except bait. But the raves I heard from others, seemed like Brew should have come out on top. Hell, his table had the biggest crowds all afternoon!

We did not win but a good time was had by all and it was nice to see some of the Faithful!

My kids voted for Brewster's, although they may have had some undo outside influence placed on them.
