St. Augustine hosts a Great Chowder Debate every year to find the best Minorcan chowders and other seafood stews, and dozens of area restaurants take part in the competition.
The public is invited to taste the contest entries at 50 cents a sample, with proceeds benefiting the Shriners Hospitals for Children.
The Great Chowder Debate

A great bunch of "Chowder Heads" always turn out to participate in this event!
