    Years ago when I lived in the area I would grab a cup of Old Fisherman's Grotto Clam Chowder and a sourdough roll and go sit on the beach and enjoy. It's a core memory.

      Uh-mazing!! We honestly did not eat chowder for 6 months after this day😂. Just found out about friend worked at Schooners and he was loving this video! He said he did the same thing with the fisherman’s chowder! It’s time that we go back to Monterey!

      We had some great bowls on this trip! Can’t wait to go back for refills. We didn’t eat clam chowder for a long time after making this video😂

      We ate so much chowder that day that we didn’t touch it for like 5 months after😂. Happy to say that we are back on it and can’t wait to go back to mo street for our favorite bowls! Thanks a million for the kind comment!

      No problem! To be fair we enjoyed every one of those chowders! We didn’t eat another bowl for almost a year though… 6 is too many😂. Have fun on your trip and thanks for watching and commenting, it means the world to us!

    My wife and I are from the Monterey area, but moved away over 20 years ago. Any time we're in town visiting family, we make it a point to get chowder at Old Fisherman's Grotto and it never disappoints. Their recipe is online, but no matter what I've done to fine tune the recipe, it just doesn't turn out the same. Glad you guys enjoyed it as well!

    • @HeresGoodTravel
      @HeresGoodTravel  7 месяцев назад +1

      We are gonna try to make it for sure! We ate so much chowder that trip we didn’t have any for almost a year😂. We are back in the white stuff now!

    Sandbar is on the municipal wharf. Fisherman’s wharf is the next one over. Heading back to Monterey in 2 weeks. Lived there for 2 years in the ear;y 90’s. Great video!

      Thanks so much! We just found out that Clint Eastwood day in the same booth as us at sand bar on a movie shoot! Dying to go back. Thanks so much for watching

  • @stuartpoulter5862

    Sandbar is where Clint Eastwood filmed some of Play Misty For Me

    • @HeresGoodTravel
      @HeresGoodTravel  Год назад +1

      Omg!! We just looked it up! Same booth we sat in too! How cool. That place is legendary, great chowder too.

  • @audielowe2700
    @audielowe2700 Год назад +1

    I lived in Monterey..the first place I’m sure Clint Eastwood filmed a scene there in play misty for me. Grotto was my go too, very consistent too

    • @HeresGoodTravel
      @HeresGoodTravel  Год назад +1

      You’re the second one who said that, we looked it up I think we were sitting in the same booth!!! So cool. That place was rad. Thanks so much for watching! We are thinking of doing a road trip for tri-tip in California if you know any good spots

  • @stephenclickard9428
    @stephenclickard9428 22 дня назад

    • @HeresGoodTravel
      @HeresGoodTravel  19 дней назад

      Somebody had mentioned this to us, it was a little before our time but we looked it up and he sat in our EXACT booth! My dad was so excited to learn this!

    We usually go to Monterey every month at least once. But we haven't for a couple of months.

    • @HeresGoodTravel
      @HeresGoodTravel  Год назад +1

      It took us sooo long to get out of California because it is just so awesome.

    FYI, you don't have to pay for parking in the lot at Fisherman's Wharf if it's under 15 minutes (or at least that's how it used to be). So sometimes I'd drive in, park, get Grotto's clam chowder at the outdoor counter and leave; take it and enjoy it at one of the beaches in Carmel or Big Sur.

    • @HeresGoodTravel
      @HeresGoodTravel  6 месяцев назад

      Amazing pro tip! Thanks so much! We can’t wait to get back to Monterey! We haven’t been since our clam chowder fest😂

      Two other people also recommended that spot after we had already made the list! We will hit it next time for sure! Thanks for the rec

    Does the sandbar need a reservation?

    • @HeresGoodTravel
      @HeresGoodTravel  3 месяца назад

      We weren’t there on a weekend or a peak summer day but you would probably be fine just to walk in! We also learned that Clint Eastwood filmed a scene in our booth!

    • @jackiemau2000
      @jackiemau2000 3 месяца назад

      What about the fishermen grotto do they take reservations or just walk in?

  • @dp7470
    @dp7470 Год назад

    Is there a parking around here

    • @HeresGoodTravel
      @HeresGoodTravel  Год назад

      There are parking lots but they can be pretty expensive. There is free parking around Vivolos and they had amazing chowder!

    • @audielowe2700
      @audielowe2700 Год назад

      Parking is tight on weekends..no problem weekdays

  • @gabrielsholisticcare

    I will take good chowder over good audio any day

    • @HeresGoodTravel
      @HeresGoodTravel  Год назад

      Hahahah we were so bummed when we got back to edit that video. The good news is we have recovered from over-chowdering and are capable of enjoying it once again!
