It was a picture of a pretty bowl of clams. Very yummy looking, so I grabbed a copy of the magazine to check it out.
It turned out be a bowl of clam chowder - original recipe created by the owners - from the Hog Island Oyster Company. It didn't look like the usual creamy gooey New England style clam chowder. But where was the recipe?
People! People!! Don't tease me with a delicious food photo and not tell me how to make it. That's just wrong!!
I first went to the Hog Island Oyster Company website to check out the menu. Yap. Right there. $14. I then google Hog Island Oyster Company Clam Chowder and ta-da, I found the recipe!!
My God, how did we ever live without the search engines (especially Google)???
Monkey see. Monkey do. I tried the recipe promptly and it was scrumptious!! I don't know if my version tasted like the real thing though. I guess I should go spend the $14 to find out and to thank the Hog Island Oyster people for this wonderful dish.
Never know what you will discover even during a lunch time stroll. So, once again, I learn to keep my eyes open and be ready to try something new.
Here's the recipe: Hog Island Oyster Co. Manila Clam Chowder
