It's just one of the dishes featured at 'Boulevard Five 72' in Kenilworth, New Jersey.
The restaurant sits in a space on the main boulevard. That's how the restaurant got its name.
The spot used to house an Italian restaurant, but now the menu is more American, with some Italian choices still available.
But no matter the season, corn chowder is always served.
The base is shrimp stock and corn which gets pureed and strained.
Then in a separate pan, you put the apple smoked bacon, onions, leeks, turnips, corn of course and celery.
It's mixed together and seasoned with old bay and that puree is added in. Then you combine it with the sautéed shrimp, and you have an American classic.
