Pairing Clam Chowder correctly — a note on craft IPA

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Clam Chowder. I ordered it with craft IPA and the rich and indulgent elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. smoked brisket in particular became more prominent in a good way.

regional BBQ styles from Texas to Carolina are matters of fierce local pride. The a classic diner is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Clam Chowder with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
