Chowder Summer: One Man Eats Rhode Island, Manhattan and New England

by David Norton Stone

During his "Chowder Summer", David Norton Stone spent a season doing what many of us only dream of: eating clam chowder at every available opportunity. In this final book in the Rhode Island Quahog series that began with Clamcake Summer and Stuffie Summer, Stone serves up a few bowls of history, quarts of the chowder he enjoyed around Rhode Island, Manhattan and New England, as well as a few oyster crackers of humor.

Rather entertaining and interesting story. The story involved, naturally, of Chowder stories, but of people too, which made this even more entertaining for me. I learned of two more chowders that I never even heard of before. This made me miss going back East when visiting my grandma.


The only downside for me was that it was short, but it was good regardless and made me really want to have clam chowder and go to all these places.


I have received this as a GoodRead's First Reads Giveaway and this had no bearing on my review.
