Graziella's - Pocasset, MA - May 24, 2009

Well well well. Last year, Graziella's changed hands. Previously, Graziella's was the source of my thinking that we should reconsider this notion that we have to eat chowder whenever it is offered. Worst chowder in the history of the free world.

I have changed my mind. The new owners, aside from putting in new floors and a fresh coat of paint, also managed to make a chowder worthy of review and possibly even a repeat purchase.

Quantity of Clams: 7

60/80 = C

We may have to re-evaluate our grading methods. The kids are starting to rank chowder on a scale of 0 to 56,000.

In other news, the house is open, we've been swimming (well, ChowderGirl has), we've had a bonfire, and I am on my second bloody mary of the day. As they say, Life is Good.
