Smoked White Clam Chowder, The Story

We reinvented the traditional recipe for clam chowder, he wanted to make a chowder "for everyone".  

Noticing the food sensetivities of many of his customers, and his own expanding waistline, Chef Michael set off to make a healthier, flourless, bacon free chowder, while retaining the flavor profiles and improving the classic clam chowder.

"by replacing smoked clams with the bacon, the smoked clams retains the flavor profile of the bacon", Fahmie says. "what we have here is a healthier, more flavorful chowder."

Furthermore Fahmie says, a no flour GLUTEN FREE chowder has been well received. 

"by not using flour, we have a more borthy chowder." 

Aunt Kiki says, "You want flour, Bake a Cake!"

Shucked clams, Fresh Dill, Cream, Butter, Vegetables and Savory Spices make for a wonderful chowder experience.

Smoked RED Clam Chowder

This GLUTEN AND DAIRY FREE, red clam chowder retains the flavor and conponents of the traditional Manhatten Clam Chowder.

Using similar method of replacing smoked clams for the bacon component, we use Red Wine, Fresh Garlic, Vegetables and Spices to complete this favorite chowder.

"We love this chowder over pasta and parmesean cheese, Red chowder may be difficult to find, especially in the land of white chowder. We have it here."
