Find a duck get a drink, chowder fries, and potato skin pizza: New Bedford Eats

Foodies, are you ready to taste test a new dish or find your new favorite restaurant?

The SouthCoast is flooded with great spots to indulge in each week, but it can get a little overwhelming, especially when you are "hangry."

New Bedford Eats helps you narrow down the list of places to try by bringing you new menu items, food events, and specials popping up all over the area.

This week you try your luck at finding a duck, order the "famous" grilled cheese, or get a slice of pizza.

Let's dig into the SouthCoast food scene:

Duck duck boba

Oh no, RoyalT misplaced 250 purple ducks with their logo throughout the city of New Bedford. If you find a lucky duck and return it to 1856 Acushnet Ave., New Bedford, and you will get a complimentary small boba drink.

Say yes to the pizza

Is it an appetizer or is it a pizza? Whichever it is Potato Skin Pizza is sure to hit all the right notes. For a limited time Pa Raffa's is serving up this delicious pie loaded with fresh mashed potatoes, cheese, and bacon on a traditional pizza crust served with a side of sour cream and scallions. Don’t miss out on this unique pizza at 2857 Acushnet Ave., New Bedford.

Added to the Fall menu at New Beige is the mouthwatering Paella Valenciana. This yummy dish is saffron rice loaded with calamari, clams, shrimp, chouriço, and scallops for $35. Warm up with a pan full of it at 39 Union St., New Bedford.

Showtime for New Bedford

Phantom Gourmet was at Fathoms Bar & Grill this week in an episode that will air next year and the standout dish of the meal was the Lobster Grilled Cheese. You have to try this delight with house-made lobster salad pressed between buttered sourdough, topped with swiss cheese, and bacon that’s sold at market price. You will leave stuffed and satisfied after dining at 255 Popes Island, New Bedford.
