Who's slinging the best chowder with the best local beer pairing in Gastown? You'll be the judge of that at next month's Chowder Smackdown.

Going down at The Portside Pub on February 8, the Chowder Smackdown finds four Gastown eateries paired with local breweries and tasked with creating a tastebud-thrilling chowder and beer combo to win the public's votes.
