Had an appointment in New London today that conveniently ended around 12:30, which meant that it made perfect sense for me to drive another ten miles up the road and grab a lobster roll and Noank chowder from Ford's.
Another A+ roll. Pretty much a perfect distribution of buttery (but not too buttery), tender claw, tail and knuckle meat. I still rate it as a dead heat with Lobster Landing, and just a touch ahead of Liv's.
Excellent clear broth chowder, too--especially for one that doesn't use bacon.
