National Crab Meat Newburg Day | Crab Newburg Chowder

Oh boy! National Crab Meat Newburg Day also means it’s DRIVING TO NEW ORLEANS DAY too! That’s right – at noon today I’ll be on my way to New Orleans which I’m more than excited about. We have Megan’s wedding, but also many plans for food and walking around the city, checking out the shops and different sights.

Have you ever been to New Orleans? Tell me what to do and where to go in the comments!

So, National Crab Meat Newburg Day. Let’s begin, shall we? Well, I know crab meat newburg is about crab and dry sherry. I kept it simple with only the addition of a couple of ingredients plus Parmesan cheese and some fresh parsley.

It’s creamy, it’s rich, it’s a great chowder, if I may say so myself. Enjoy!
