Madera’s Waffle Spot will host the third annual Clam Chowder Cook-Off and all eyes are to unseat two-time champion Stacy Cornaggia from Backstreet Bar and Grill.

In addition to Backstreet and Waffle Spot, Sugar Pine Smokehouse will vie for the title. They have been a part of the Cook-Off since its inception in 2021. The Sand Trap, Pheasant Run Golf Course’s restaurant in Chowchilla, will also vie for the title, in addition to The Vineyard Restaurant.

The Cook-Off will be held at Waffle Spot (1101 Country club Drive) on April 1 from 3-5 p.m. The cost for the tickets went from $10 last year to $8 this year.
