Martha's Vineyard Chowders 2011

Not sure why, but all sampled chowders seem to be much improved in comparison to the last year. From the thin and milky at Among the Flowers to a thick pudding-like variety in Atlantic, it was so good, that we kept ordering them every time we went out.

Here is the list:

• The Seafood Shanty - okay, one star for the effort
• Among the Flowers (top pic) - very good, milky (so Leon didn't like it), but two stars still
• Newes (second) - good, thick, one star for the crispy bacon and another for Leon liking it.
• Quaterdeck Shack - very good, two stars
• The Wharf (third) - competent, two stars
• Atlantic (last) - gourmet thick pudding like, two stars

Overall - three stars across the board! Definitely worth a special trip!
