"From film sets to an uncertain future in the harbor waters near Long Beach, this decades-old destination has been through it all. “We can only hope that the port doesn’t want to use our space for their operations, but there’s no guarantee,” says Olsen. For now, she’s just enjoying the ebb and flow of life on the water, running plates of chowder to hundreds of hungry customers. “While I am up for retirement soon, this is too good a ride to give up on now.” The Chowder Barge is open daily, with lunch through dinner hours most days and early service starting at 9 a.m. on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday." - Brian Addison
