Nyork chowder

OnALegendsArticle

"A delicious staple of the Gungan diet, this chowder is made from freshly shucked nyorks in a creamy broth with diced protatoes, Ojomian onions and celonslay."
―The chowder's description on Dex's menu[1]

Nyork chowder was a type of chowder made using freshly shucked nyorks, which were served in a creamy broth along with diced protatoes, Ojomian onions, and celonslay. The dish was a staple for the Gungan species[1] of the planet Naboo, which was also the homeworld of the nyork.[2] Dex's Diner, an eatery located in the CoCo Town district on the planet Coruscant, served the chowder as a lunch item. Dexter Jettster, the Besalisk chef and owner of the diner, considered the meal delicious and charged 2.1 credits for a cup of the chowder and 3.1 credits for a bowl. The chowder was served at Dex's[1] at some point prior to the eatery's destruction during the first two years of the Galactic Empire's rule.[3]

Behind the scenes

Nyork chowder was introduced in the 2009 Hyperspace article "Dining at Dex's," which was written by Gregory Walker.[1] Its name is similar to real-life New York clam chowder.[4]
