Santa Cruz Clam Chowder Festival

The 33rd annual Santa Cruz Clam Chowder Festival was held on Saturday, 2/22/2014. It was held on the boardwalk and was incredibly crowded. There were professional and individual teams. Cooking started at 10 am, tastings started at 1 pm and winners were announced at 4 pm. Each tasting kit included 5 tickets, a paper cup and a spoon for $9. There were also People's Choice tickets to give to your favorite team. Parking was $12 in nearby lots.


 
 
I thought the best chowder was made by a culinary school made up of high school students from Manteca. Their chowder had just the right creaminess without any hint of flour thickening, their potatoes were perfectly made and there was great flavor.
