About

If you haven't heard of the Coastal Grandma trend, well, you're in for a treat. The young kids are glorifying and imitating the style and lifestyle of middle-aged women who live on fancy oceanfront properties. Think coastal apparel meets a more elevated preppy aesthetic. Sounds interesting, right? Well, it's not all about the clothes. They're interested in mimicking their meals, too. Knowing that, we wanted to sail onto that trend, so we whipped up our own Coastal Grandma Chowder. It's creamy, reminds you of the sea thanks to the plump, pink shrimp and tender crabmeat, and tastes like something you'd order at a luxurious steakhouse by the coast. Sip after sip, Coastal Grandma Chowder will make you feel like you effortlessly have it all together. You know, we think those youths might actually be on to something delicious!
