Gilbert's Chowderhouse

Thick, creamy, bone-warming, and totally slurpable, the clam chowder at Gilbert's -- filled with succulent bivalves -- takes the prize in Portland for the best bowl of chowdah. Order a small mugful, or eat the container when it comes in a bread bowl. And if you're from away and wish for it when you're not in Portland, you can order it up online and have it shipped straight to you.
