              The Chowder Spot food concession truck offers double egg, double cheese with bacon sandwiches, hamburgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, lobster rolls, clam strips, lobster bisque of course clam chowder, and Bucks  ice cream.

              The 1995 truck, which resembles a long mobile home, was converted into a food service enterprise with new cooking and cooling equipment and is connected to a utility pole with full electrical service. Last summer’s attempt to operate off of generator power was unsuccessful.

              Besides the food and beverages served,  The key to the business is the mobility of the unit. If a storm approaches that threatens to flood the area I can protect his investment by simply driving the truck to higher ground.

              I was more than pleased with the assistance he got from the Stratford Health Department and Waterfront Commission as we were arranging to open for business.

              The Chowder Spot already has 298 friends on Facebook,  word of mouth is positive, and customers are calling ahead to check on the weather as they plan to grab a meal at the town docks on the Housatonic River.

              Hours of operation are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekends and holidays, and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays. I will open earlier or stay open later during the week if adequate demand is there. I am  also in the catering business  and prepared to be open year-round if business warrants it.

              Boat launch permits also may be purchased at The Chowder Spot.
