Patrons were able to head to participating restaurants and locations near them to purchase some chowder (or order takeout/delivery where available), and a portion of the proceeds from each bowl went towards supporting the not-for-profit program.
Over $35,600 in funding was raised for the program and approximately 2,136 bowls of chowder were sold.
So, without further ado, here are the National Chowder Chowdown Festival Award Winners from the 2021 event.
Most Funds Raised, Western Canada: Chef Poyan Danesh, Organic Ocean x Ocean Mama (Vancouver, BC)
