“Best Clam Chowder” – Boston Magazine, 2017, 2011, 2010
“You don’t mess with success. Legal’s classic formula – a creamy base, loads of clam flavor, firm potato chunks – has been warming Bostonian’s souls for decades. It even has a White House endorsement, having been ladled at every inauguration since the Reagan era.” – Boston Magazine, 2017
“Based on a rich fish stock made from the bones of thousands of swimmers, the chowder features the essence of briny clams, a bit of cream, herbs, onions, and potatoes. Simple and delicious.” – Boston Magazine, 2011
“Surely someplace other than Legal can whip up a great chowder, we thought. And so we set about finding it. Countless gloppy, thin, and off-tasting bowls later, we conceded: The rich seafood base of Legal’s well-seasoned recipe is unmatched, and the ideal mixture of plump clams, potatoes, and cream seals its spot at the top.” – Boston Magazine, 2010
