I've never been to the area before, but was excited to see what the New England area was all about, and most importantly, try some New England clam chowder (or "chowduh" for you Bostonians). After meeting a lot of great people from our Ashland, MA location, we ventured off for dinner. We ate at Legal Sea Foods, where I tried my best to get a taste of Boston in one night. To start, I had a cup of their famous clam "chowduh" which has been served at the last 7 presidential inagurations.
It was tasty, and definately the best "chowduh" I've had. This one even beat out a place called Chelsea's, which was my current favorite. Masaki would take me there whenever we met with AL from Options, and their chowder is gangsta. Anyhow, Legals beats them out with more of a seafood taste in the broth, and fresher clam meat. Next up, was the stuffed Lobster florentine...
As my friends from the area advised, I happen to be there during the peak lobster season. Whaddaya know, must be my lucky day. The meat was sweet, and stuffed with spinach, shrimp, cheese, and breading. The best part, was the tail meat was still in tact. Its like getting a 2 for 1 deal on this bad boy. And last, we have dessert...
I was so full from all of the food already, but Sandy and Kerry said, "Do you want the full Boston experience or what?!" So i took their advice and ordered the Boston Cream Pie. I'm not usually a dessert guy, but this thing was awesome. I just wish I had more room in my maxed out tummy to finish it. So my less than 24hour trip to Boston was great. We got the work done, got to have some drinks, and a great meal. This was the best meal I had in a while. Not only was the food excellent, but the company made it a great time as well. Good thing Steven and Kammi's pot luck is tonight... I'm hungry than a mutha feezy now...
