Did you know that the annual Santa Cruz Clam Chowder Cook Off is the country’s largest and longest-running clam chowder competition? 😲🥣 and the best part? It was only a bus ride away from campus! This 2 day event took place the 25th and 26th of February, where both amateur and professional cooks showed off their finest clam chowder recipes along the Boardwalk. The teams competed in friendly competition to win both prizes and bragging rights 😉💞 This country famous event could be a great check out for students, an experience that you wouldn’t want to miss! Watch out for this event next year in late February! #exploresantacruz #clamchowder #cookoff #ucsc #santacruzbeachboardwalk
