He suggests a menu of Del&#8217;s lemonade, coffee milk, and Rhode Island clam chowder &#8212; which is DIFFERENT from New England clam chowder &#8212; could put the little state&#8217;s culinary prowess on the map.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p><!--\/#cb-f80a3c2c3fe32441525a5427f4a7c070--><\/p>\n<section id=\"cb-e17fd03931cb4115d0870b30b8972602\" class=\"canvas-block canvas-block-permalink canvas-text-block canvas-text-block-permalink canvas-text-block--default  \" data-context=\"{&quot;section&quot;:&quot;permalink&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;text_block&quot;}\">Again, this is only if Taylor and Travis actually choose to host the wedding in the area &#8212; or even on her over 5-acre property.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p><!--\/#cb-e17fd03931cb4115d0870b30b8972602--><\/p>\n<section id=\"cb-a7caab49ab776c10c480c05dc58df35c\" class=\"canvas-block canvas-block-permalink canvas-gallery-block canvas-gallery-block-permalink canvas-gallery-block--default  \">\n<div class=\"gallery-block\"><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p><!--\/#cb-a7caab49ab776c10c480c05dc58df35c--><\/p>\n<section id=\"cb-59831b92833817f98afb68b163651acd\" class=\"canvas-block canvas-block-permalink canvas-text-block canvas-text-block-permalink canvas-text-block--default  \" data-context=\"{&quot;section&quot;:&quot;permalink&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;text_block&quot;}\">Rep.
