Culinary Treasures From The West Coast USA

Chowder And Sourdough Bread Please

Our West Coast Culinary Photo Tour begins in the Northern State of Washington. The states of Washington and Oregon are big on chowders, but when you get to Northern Washington you experience the real variety of chowders. Every little town has a clam chowder hut, but when you get to Northern Washington you see not only clam chowder, but corn chowder, fish chowder, and salmon chowder. There is nothing like a good bowl of chowder and a hunk of sourdough bread on a cold winter day.
