This is the ultimate Northwest experience and available only at Kathy Casey Food Studios. You and your guests will be grouped off into teams and then set loose to create your own signature clam chowder. To accomplish this, you’ll be given a plethora of fun ingredients to customize your chowder with. While some teammates are cooking up the chowder, the rest will be brainstorming on a name and logo. Each team receives an hour for their creations. Once the time has expired, it’s off to the judges for presentations. After all teams have presented their masterpieces, the judges will make the final decision as to which chowder tickled their tongues the most. The winning team will receive the Ultimate Chowder Gold Medal! After the judging, teams can taste one another’s chowder taste-tations.
As you vie to be the Chowder Champions, you’ll be served NW Microbrews, D'Lish Sangria, Studios Fruit Splash and d’lish appetizers.
