Newport, Rhode Island (June 18, 2008) – Durham Ltd., creator of The Soup Barrel TM and a proud partner of the 27th Annual Schweppes Great Chowder Cook-Off in Newport, Rhode Island, is pleased to congratulate this year’s winners.

“We also want to recognize The Skipper Restaurant, The Mooring, Boat House and Harmon’s for taking home top category honors. The competition was formidable and these achievements are tremendous.” said McGrain.

“Durham is proud to be affiliated with this fun, prestigious event. With our recent introduction of the Durham Soup Barrel TM, this event is a natural fit. In fact, the 2007 Clam Category winner, Captain Curt’s of Sarasota, FL, is already a Durham Soup Barrel customer.”
