Get Your Food On!
Chowder and Popovers, please!
The meal that Mainers ask for and savor. Enjoy a demonstration of the iconic Maine chowder and popovers. A popover is a special bread that has been served for generations in Bar Harbor and is easy to make if you know the secrets. The type of chowder is dependent on the catch of the day (usually fish). The secrets of the base will give you many choices about the types of chowders that you can make at home. You may volunteer to assist the chef in front of the class or just enjoy watching. At the end of the class, you will have a taste of chowder, a hot popover, and receive written recipes for chowder and popovers to be used at home to enjoy with your friends and family.
