If this isn't the most Boston case of Boston being Boston I don't know what is. And just wait until the non-New-Englanders get a load of this: Boston will officially recognize January 15th, this year and every year following, as "Chowda Day." That's right, not Chowder Day --- "Chowda Day."
Pardon me while I go pahk my cah by the yahd real quick.
"Chowda Day" started as a yearly celebration made up by Legal Seafood. Now the holiday is moving from "made up" to "real." Boston City Council President Ed Flynn said in a press release, “We are thrilled to officially proclaim Jan. 15 as ‘Chowda Day. Legal Sea Foods has been a tremendous advocate for the City of Boston, giving back in various city-wide charitable initiatives over the decades, and we are excited to honor them with this special recognition.”
