Clam Chowder

“Where do you get your clam chowder?” I asked Jim, the proprietor (owner?) of Home Town Buffet.

“We make it! We make it six or seven times a day.”

“It is so good that I thought maybe you might make it yourselves instead of getting it in a great big can or something,” I indicated with my arms wide as if to go around that can.

He went on “I have been in every restaurant in San Francisco, and no one makes clam chowder as good as ours.”

I reiterated that it is wonderful chowder, and he replied “It is the number one soup in here”.

Now I know – my question has been answered. I had been wondering for a long time if they make the soup themselves.
