be there to try some of those dishes they prepare and it's great watching the judges taste and comment on the finished products.

Personally, I make a mean seafood (no clams, I hate clams) chowder that would knock your socks off which includes fish (usually halibut or tuna), scallops, lobster, and shrimp. I use the shells and innards to make a basic broth or stock and then strain off the junk and add onion, carrot, potato, shallots, some spices, bay leaf, fresh basil, and whatever else suits me or is in the cupboard at the time and add a rue to thicken it as well as adding heavy cream near the end of the cooking time which usually takes all day to prepare. And it's even better the next day. This has been our "family tradition" new years dish for the last 5 or 6 years.
:thumbsup: Yes I like to watch the original too ,,,Sounds delicious Mmmmm :smokin: can I come over & try some :smokin:
