Chowda - LBI style

Today's post is more gourmand and less running. I did get in a 3 mile run this morning, but headed to LBI to help my sister in law Pat close her house for the winter. There was also some clean up of leaves and pruning of the bushes. After two plus hours of working around the property, I was starting to get hungry. I figured we would stop on the way off the island so we just starting heading back when Pat suggested California Pizza & Grill. I had checked the LBI Resort Map for a sandwich shop but found none so this was definitely a better option than Wawa.

LBI has an annual Chowderfest in October which I never make, but always see signs about certain restaurants that placed in the contest. Well, California Pizza & Grill was crowned champion in 2008 & 2009 so it only made sense that I give it a try. I am not one to pass up on quality food. I ordered a cup along with pulled pork nachos. The nachos were a disappointment only because there wasn't much pulled pork. The chowder on the other hand was excellent. I could tell by the first spoonful.

When I taste great food, I need to blog about as a way to pass the word along. If you happen to be on LBI, stop at California Pizza & Grill for the chowder. You will not be disappointed.
