My favorite restaurant (went out of business) but I still use this recipe.

In recipes like this I often cut back on the bacon, but not this time ~ I wanted to experience the full, intended flavor of this chowder, using some homemade chicken stock that I had! Another time I might just add some chopped, shredded chicken breast but for this 1st time the recipe was followed & the chowder . . . VERY, VERY TASTY! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
