Wed Jan 02 19:31:03 -0800 2008 21956 Bay Gelldawg 1 3255550 Growing up my family called this Manhattan Clam Chowder, funny name and I like this style over the other. We would collect clams at Pismo Beach and my mom would make an amazing batch of red clam chowder...sigh Taddich 21st Ammendment Old Port Lobster Shack Not great and all very different. Wed Jan 02 19:44:06 -0800 2008 3255517 52212 Lori SF 2 3257203 I like the red clam chowder at Fish in Sausalito. http://331fish.com/food/index.html Thu Jan 03 10:54:44 -0800 2008 3255550 11534 The Librarian 1 3255643 No mere clam chowder, to be sure, but cioppino (which usually has clams in it) is tomato-based. Wed Jan 02 20:13:27 -0800 2008 3255517 131118 Xiao Yang 2 3255785 I remember going to restaurants and seeing manhattan clam chowder on the menu and seeing cioppini. It is different from cioppini which is what ever fish is caught and put into a stew with mushrooms, etc mainly a California dish. Manhattan clam chowder is an Italian clam soup renamed for reasons of style made with tomatoes and comes from the East Coast. Wed Jan 02 21:08:15 -0800 2008 3255643 52212 Lori SF 3 3255884 I specifically said that cioppino is not clam chowder. My point was that it's a lot easier to find cioppino than Manhattan-style clam chowder in SF. I am originally from the East Coast and I know what Manhattan-style clam chowder is; even in Manhattan, though, very few people preferred it to "New England style". Wed Jan 02 22:12:54 -0800 2008 3255785 131118 Xiao Yang 3 3262861 Cioppino has MUSHROOMS? Where is this served? I'm curious.

It's okay, not great. Wed Jan 02 21:38:49 -0800 2008 3255517 10644 Nancy Berry 1 3255932 I like Cambell's Manhattan Style Clam Chowder. :-) Wed Jan 02 22:39:41 -0800 2008 3255517 16853 yehfromthebay 1 3262288 The "Coney Island" clam chowder @ Tadich comes darn close to the benchmark, which for me is The Oyster Bar in Grand Central Staion , NYC. Fri Jan 04 16:36:03 -0800 2008 3255517 154787 adamshoe 2 3262792 we just had a lobster roll to go to make the train to Chappaqua around 9:50 PM.. I give them credit for making it happen because this was our last train out of Manhattan and the roll was pretty darn good. Fri Jan 04 19:48:24 -0800 2008 3262747 52212 Lori SF 1 3263299 Old Port Lobster Shack, which has enjoyed great reviews here and has multiple locations in the Bay Area. Vincent Sat Jan 05 02:00:40 -0800 2008 3255517 50138 vincentlo 1 3266900 Both are long shots... U.S. Restaurant, after they moved to their second location on Columbus, would make red clam chowder on an occasional Friday. I don't know if this place still exists or goes by another name now but it was my favorite chowder. Then I disovered that Rick's Restaurant on Taraval also made a red clam chowder. But they also alternated when it was on the menu. I haven't been there in many years, but you can call to see if they still offer this on Fridays.
