3.) Puget Sound clam chowder at Ivar’s, Seattle, Washington
The clam chowder “is the most popular dish we serve – hands down – as the inclement, colder weather calls for it,” said Jim Werth, marketing director for Seattle, Washington-based Ivar’s. The Northwest-style chowder, made with meaty clams from the North Atlantic Ocean, has a tantalizing hint of smoked bacon. The hearty chowder has been on Ivar’s menu since 1938.
