Shaw's has sorta respectable chowder and bisque but I've never had anything in Chicago that takes me back to my undergraduate years in Boston. Have often wondered why Legal Seafoods hasn't made an attempt to plant soil here since they are now all over the east coast and mid-atlantic... nudge, nudge... a little west! But Durgin Park Indian Pudding... don't get me started. If anyone was doing that HERE, I'd hunt it down, stick a straw in it and suck the life out of it. Sadly, no one is, that I know of.

I am in TOTAL agreement with you Lupe14! Legal Seafoods should really consider opening a location in this landlocked Midwest. Every time I'm in Boston to visit my brother, who lives a stone's throw from a Legal Seafoods, I am so there.
Durgin Park's Indian Pudding is quite possibly my favorite dessert I have ever had. The description of Indian Pudding, with cornmeal, molasses, and such, sounds very humble and almost off-putting to some. Don't knock it until you try it. Chicago, I implore you, please please understand the magnificence of Indian Pudding and make it a reality here!

1) They would have to establish a reliable high quality vendor base which they have in NE but don't in the midwest.

2) They would have to invest millions to market and promote their product since theirmoniker is largely unknown in the midwest.

How about finding a place that has NECCO wafers or Squirrel Nut Caramels in Chicago?
