Seafood Chowder

All food has a story. Manhattan chowder actually originated in Rhode Island, where some fisherman began using tomatoes instead of milk as the base of the soup. New Englanders, wary of this new variation on their regional classic (New England Chowder), began calling it “Manhattan-style”, because, in their view, calling someone a New Yorker was discourteous. I don’t care what you call it, it is real good.
