Meet the Chefs!

 

With the Great Chowder Cook-Off still a few months away, we know it's tough to stay put when you are itchin' for your chowda' fix. Well, we can't make the day come any faster, but try to pass some time browsing the backgrounds of chefs from competitions past. Who knows, you might even get inspired and cook up your own creative concoction for this year's festival!

 

Check back soon for an update on what's happening at our 2010 competition!
