Clam Chowder Cook-Off
If you are looking for a great event for the whole family, you won’t want to miss the Edmonds Clam Chowder Cook-Off on Saturday, February 27 from 11am to 4pm. Presented by the Edmonds Chamber of Commerce, the event will take place at the Edmonds Yacht Club.
This will be your opportunity to sample some of the best clam chowder in the area as chefs from eight local restaurants will put their culinary skills to the test as they vie to see who will be awarded the Best Chowder in Edmonds award.
Categories will include the traditional clam chowder as well as a “cutting edge” category. In addition to a Judges’ Award, there will also be a People’s Choice Award as well as a Best Booth Award.
But the event will include much more than just clam chowder. There will be live musical entertainment that will include STRUM Ukulele players, Cascade Symphony players, and Alison Austin Harp Arts.
Refreshments will include a beer and wine garden complete with craft beer and root beer provided by our own Salish Sea Brewing Company.
The kids are sure to enjoy all the fun activities the Edmonds Chamber of Commerce has planned for them at this family event. Ivar’s dancing clam will be on hand for photo opportunities with both the young and young-at-heart.
The Edmonds Yacht Club is located on the waterfront at the Port of Edmonds, 326 Admiral Way, and there will be free parking. The price of admission is $10 and includes a taste of all the chowders. And if you are one of the first 100 to enter, you will receive a free souvenir cup.
The Best Chowder award winners will be announced at 3:45pm, and so far the participating restaurants include Ivar’s Seafood Bar, Scott’s Bar & Grill, Soup’s On Café, Here and There Grill and Chanterelles, with more to come!
Sponsored by Ivar’s Seafood Bar on Edmonds Way, this promises to be a great event that will be fun for all ages. For more information visit www.EdmondsCookOff.com or contact the Edmonds Chamber of Commerce at 425.670.1496. Be sure to come hungry!
