"Chef Michael Cimarusti’s L.A. restaurant, Connie & Ted’s, is modeled on a New England seafood shack. It features seafood dishes ranging from clam cakes to this flavorful stew named after his Portuguese uncle. It’s loaded with clams, mussels and cod as well as chunks of linguiça, a smoky, mildly hot cured Portuguese sausage."

"As there would be at any respectable Rhode Island clambake, there are clam cakes, rough and ready fritters studded with the tougher bits of the clam, moist but not gooey under their sturdy crusts, with some tartar sauce to dip them in if you are in the mood. (You are in the mood.)"
