Personal Notes:
I ate at this place called Evelyn's (funny that's Memere's name isn't it) in Rhode Island and they had this chowder on their menu. It was Fabulous. I went home and tried to duplicate it and this is what I came up with...I used Canadian bacon rather than regular to help with the fat content!
