Clam Chowder

If Clam Chowder isn't the heavyweight champ of the 'Greatest American Food of All Time', then I don't know what is. This thick, creamy contender swims in a league of its own. Fans? Obsessive. They'll debate you under the table on New England vs. Manhattan styles—like there's a world where tomatoes in chowder make any sense! And let's be honest, nothing screams American comfort like battling the fog with a bread bowl filled to the brim with this iconic soup. It's not just food; it's a culinary hug that insists on being top of the food chain.
