Biden clams up when Nantucket business owner asks him to name his favorite chowder
Emma Colton - 10h ago
As America feasted over Thanksgiving, President Biden visited New England for the holiday and was asked to choose a side on clam chowder: New England or Manhattan.
"Do you prefer Manhattan or New England Clam Chowder?" Sean Dew, co-founder of Nantucket store TownPool, asked Biden on Saturday.
"I don’t like either," Biden responded.
"Oh my God," Dew responds before saying: "Alright, good answer."
Biden does then say, "No, no, no, New England clam chowder."
New England and Manhattan have long tussled over who is king of clam chowder, with New England’s version boasting a creamy soup and Manhattan’s having one with a tomato base.
TownPool told Fox News on Sunday that Dew often asks people in the store what their favorite chowder is, describing it as a "running joke." The store's Instagram page shows celebrities and public figures such as James Carville, Amanda Knox, John Hope Bryant, John Kerry and others also answering the same question from Dew.
The store also posted the video of the lighthearted exchange on Instagram, accompanied by various products it sells with Biden's name.
