Who makes the best clam chowder at Summercrest? You decide.
Join us for a fun and flavorful afternoon as four members of our leadership team face off in The Great Summercrest Clam Chowder Cook-Off.
The competition features four members of the Summercrest team, each bringing their own take on this New England favorite:
🔸Dining Services Director, Chef Korey
🔸 Executive Director, John Frisbee
🔸 Head Cook, Alex Merrill
🔸 Maintenance Director, Rob Wagner
If last year’s Great Summercrest Chili Cook-Off was any indication, the competition will be fierce and the jokes will be flying. The friendly rivalry between these four is already underway.
Guests will sample each chowder, cast their vote, and help crown the Summercrest Chowder Champion.
Come hungry and ready for some fun!
Please RSVP so we can save you a tasting spoon.
This event is free and open to the public.
