Seafood and Corn Chowder
We felt we had to continue with the happy-looking food theme in the Bistro kitchen this week. Chef Gerald loves sweet potato and corn, so he thought this could be a good opportunity to try his beak at making chowder for the first time! As with so many other wonderful dishes, chowder is open to […]
