Cioppino is a fisherman's soup that that is an amalgam of various Italian seafood stews and soups, but originates from San Francisco using the freshest catch of the day brought in by local sources from the sea. Think bouillabaisse that is sometimes served with a pasta but always served with the requisite toasted sourdough bread.

Chef Point is the venerable Watauga gas station that is known for serving awesome chef-driven cuisine at less-than-premium prices. This version of cioppino includes mussels, scallops, salmon, clams, calamari, shrimp and vegetables in a delicious tomatoey fish broth and finished with a white wine for a perfect balance served steaming hot until the supply runs dry.
