Clam chowder! I don't care if it's Manhattan or New England, just dish it ot and let me at it. When I worked at Goodspeed on, I think, The Chocolate Soldier, once we were in prevews, the musical director took the music team to the absolute best seafood place I've ever been to. I cannot remember after 30+ years where it was - on the coast between New Haven and New London - or its name, but there I had the best New England clam chowder I've ever tasted: thick, creamy, the stuff dreams are made of.
