Clam Chowder from Glenn’s Diner

I’ve been a fan of Glenn’s Diner ever since the kids were little. The magical cereal “wall” drew us in, but the fresh seafood, brought in almost everyday, has kept me coming back during all seasons. If you’re a fan of Alaskan King crabs, you really owe it to yourself to stop in on a Tuesday for their all-you-can-eat night; same goes for the you-peel-’em shrimp on Thursdays.

But the focus of my attention this week is on the clam chowder – a dish so simple, and yet, so commonly screwed up elsewhere. I love that they render bacon to cook their onions in, then add clams and cream and potatoes and well.. you should just go in and grab a bowl yourself, and see what I’m talking about.
