Congratulations to the winners - you've earned yourself some bragging rights, and we love you & your chowders!
The Seaplane Base Rec Hall has never looked so fun, and the maritime tunes with Newfoundland Darlin' Robert Cluett had me kicking up my heels. It was a wonderful success and we're thankful to everyone who came out to support the event and to the Ucluelet Recreation Commission for keeping the tradition alive. It gets better every year!
A boatload of thanks to all of the participating restaurants for slaving over your recipes and prepping the bucketloads of chowder that fed a very happy (and record-breaking!) crowd of folks at today's event. It was a certified whale of a time!
Yes, I said whale of a time.
