Rhode Island style is better than either one. It's made with a clear broth, so you can taste the ingredients. But very few places outside of Rhode Island and Connecticut make it well and most people don't even know it exists.

NE. Gotta be. Dad just bought a truckload of chicken noodle, so I'll have to get used to that.

I can't decide. Both of those areas have such refreshingly clean waters to fish in, no heavy metals or medical waste floating around......

You're right, I'm a webfoot living in the Pacific NorthWest (Portland, OR) and have never heard of it.

New England for me.

I've never had Manhattan... Any recommendations for a good place in PDX to try it, RossMAN?

Nope. I only recently found out what Manhattan Chowdah is. I'll do some asking around, when I find a good place I'll let you guys know.

My g/f's Manhattan is better than any NE I've ever had. Then again, she's actually starting to get notoriety around Seattle for her soups, so maybe that shouldn't count. :)
