Chowder Cook Off - Great Fun





Competing with all the Saturday Easter egg hunts was tough, but for those who chose seafood chowder over boiled eggs, well, from our perspective, no competition!  Many thanks to our our many merchandise vendors who braved the wind to set up tents and displays.

The competition for top chowders was keen, and this "judge" was looking for the box to check off for "all of the above".  But, alas, the event attendees who paid $3 for a bowl and the right to vote chose their top choices:

Top Creative Chowder - Rocky Carbia.  Rocky, in addition to being a fine cook is also the Captain of the Safari Fishing Charter Boat.  www.safari-1.com.  Accepting for Rocky is Rocky himself.
Top Conch Chowder - The Restaurant Gettin Crabby here in Port Salerno.  gettincrabby.me  Accepting for Gettin Crabby is Meg Arbour, co-owner.
Top Seafood Chowder - Cindy Mumford, member of the Stuart Sailfish Club.  Accepting for Cindy is Cindy herself.

Other Cook Off contestants who certainly deserve Honorable Mention include:

Jesse Rehe - Stuart Sailfish Marina and Finest Kind Offshore Tackle
Marty Romstadt - Finest Kind Offshore Tackle
Dave Powell - President, Stuart Sailfish Club

Congrats to all for their fine jobs.
