(28) Clam Chowder @ Anchor Oyster Bar

A big bowl of clam chowder from Anchor Oyster Bar is the ultimate San Francisco comfort food, especially during lazy drizzly afternoons. This chowder was rich, creamy, and buttery. It was full of hearty clam meat, tender potatoes, and bits of translucent celery. Accompanied with salty flaky oyster crackers and hunks of warm buttered bread. Mmmm! I'm craving it right now. The interior is decorated with kitschy Massachusetts knickknacks and sea trinkets, which gives this place a homey neighborhood feel. Two thumbs way up for this tasty chowder.
