Today, Legal Sea Foods turns 60. In celebration, the famed seafood chain offers clam chowder for just 60 cents a cup (if you purchase an entree). This is a good way to give visitors an "authentic" Boston experience (because, you know, we all eat all clam chowder all the time) at a low cost.
Legal Sea Foods, the Boston-based chain restaurant, never gets much love in the snobby circles of Boston's food cognoscenti, so this might come as terrible news to them. Patrick Sullivan, the mastermind behind the B-Side Lounge and one of the prime movers behind Boston's classic cocktail revival, has been hired to oversee Legal's cocktail menu.
