New England Great Chowder Cook-Off
The Great Chowder Cook-Off is an annual event that was held at the Newport Yachting Center in Newport, Rhode Island, US, for 33 years and is now held at Fort Adams State Park in Newport, RI. The event typically takes place in early or mid June. At first, the Cook-Off was open only to local chefs but more recently, there have been entries from as far away as Seattle, New York, Atlantic City, California, Florida, Carolina Beach, North Carolina, and Ireland.
