Well, it's soup season again, and what better way to ring in the winter than with a large, steaming bowl of delicious clam chowder to warm you up? Nothing, as far as we're concerned, which is why when we received this press release we decided it would be a good idea to share the news and build your appetite for lunch.
The place: the 28th Annual San Clement Seafest Chowder Cook-Off Competition, the largest clam chowder contest in the nation.
The people: Over 1,000 attendees on hand tasting as well as several judges.
The results:
First Place, Judges' Choice Restaurant: Fortun New England Clam Chowder.
First Place, Best Individual Chowder: Ultimate 3-Clam Chowder.
As the chowder-heads that we are over here at DeliMarket News, let us just say that we really need to taste this chowder! Moreso, considering that the 3-Clam Chowder took home first place in the non-restaurant category back in 2012 as well.
The chowder entries were submitted by two customers of Fortun, which is pretty flattering for the soup company, but comes as no surprise to Kevin G. Fortun., Founder and CEO of Fortun Foods. "We pride ourselves on our recipes, and the judges and attendees of the San Clemente Seafest recognized Fortun’s chowders as the best. Our products are the best in the industry and provide flavorful options to restaurants and operators while never sacrificing quality and convenience."
According to the company, "the soups, created with fresh sautéed vegetables and Fortun’s premium homemade stocks, contain no added preservatives or artificial flavors, MSGs or trans-fat and some options are gluten free. The chef-developed recipes of Fortun soups maintain high quality standards while providing time-saving solutions for customers who desire exceptional flavor and convenient preparation."
Congratulations to Fortun Foods and we will definitely be on the lookout for some of that chowder.
