* The Newport Great Chowder Cook-Off is an annual event held in at the Newport Yachting Center in Newport, Rhode Island, USA. It is one of the early summer season Newport Waterfront events. The aim of the,〔("Winners announced in the third annual chowder cook off" ). ''NBC 10 News''.〕 and originally the New England Grand Chowder Cook-Off, the event has twice changed sponsors. However the general point of the cook-off remains the same: to determine which restaurant makes the best clam chowder.〔(Thousands chowed at Chowder Cook-off ). ''The Triton''〕 At first the Cook-Off was open only to local chefs, but more recently there have been entries from as far away as Seattle,〔("Restaurants With Outdoor Dining in Seattle" ). ''USA Today''.〕 New York, Atlantic City〔("Long Beach Island restaurant wins second place in Rhode Island chowder competition" ). ''Press of Atlantic City''.

''Westerly Sun''.〕 ==History== The event was started in 1981 and was originally called the New England Clam Chowder Cook-off, and at that time New England clam chowder was the only type at the cook-off. A few years later, a creative category was entered, though there was no award (as in the New England category) and a seafood category was added the following year. Starting with the 28th annual Great Chowder Cook-Off, awards were dealt in these categories too. The 28th introduced clam cake In recent years, the Cook-off has been assisted by sponsors.〔(Knorr Great Chowder Cook-off in Newport ). ''Front Row Eats''.〕〔("Knorr Great Chowder Cook-Off 2011 (and 1st Place-Winning Recipe! )". ''Mission: Food''.〕 The name of the sponsor is added to the title of the event. In recent years the winner has been announced at the end of the day, in addition to showing up in the local paper, ''The Newport Daily News'', next day. In 2012 and 2013 (31st/32nd) the organizers created an additional entrance option: the "Chowderhead Club". These tickets are limited, unlike the normal ticket, allowing early entry and meeting chefs who will later be busy with group demonstrations The Chowderhead Club tickets are fairly new, starting when sponsors began, but the demonstrations have been running for several years. In 2011 "Stefano’s Seafood Restaurant" won the prize for best chowder, and in 2012 became the second restaurant to win 2 years in a row. Another restaurant, "The Mooring", has also won twice in a row. In one of the years "The Mooring" won, it was during taping for the Food Network show ''Challenge''. Though the show is primarily for baking, it does have episodes with other focuses. One was the Great Chowder Cook-off.〔(The Mooring Restaurant Chowder Recipe : Food Network )〕 in 2015 the location of the cook-off was changed to Newport's Fort Adams State Park.〔("Great Chowder Cook-off settles long-simmering debate in Newport" ).
