"The true story of an epic food fight to keep tomatoes out of clam chowder. Maine lawmaker Cleveland Sleeper, Jr. loved clam chowder and was so upset that when he heard people in Manhattan were adding tomatoes to their chowder pots, he proposed a bill to make it a crime. This is the story behind the great chowder cook-off of 1939 where a panel of celebrity judges settled the matter once and for all."--Provided by publisher.
