Connecticut Food & Drink Table of Contents Restaurants, Breweries, Wineries, Cheese! Ice Cream! & More! This page now serves as a fairly robust jumping off point for all sorts of food and drink sections of CTMQ. The state has maintained some culinary “trails” over the years and I’ve done them all. I’ve also … [Read more...]
Connecticut Food Tour of the World
The Most Difficult and Delicious Section of CTMQ CTMQ Ethnic Food/Restaurant Tour Here’s something you may not know: writing about food is very, very difficult for me. I can’t do it very well at all, but at least I’m friends with a few quality food writers. As I embark on these little food adventures “around the … [Read more...]
Connecticut Cheese Trail
There currently is no such thing as the Connecticut Cheese Trail. So I made it up a while back. In my very amateur opinion, our cheeses are better than our wines, and we do have a CT Wine Trail. Below are my visits to the cheesemakers around that state of which I'm aware. Drop me a line if you know of any other … [Read more...]
More Great Homemade Ice Cream!
How in the world do I get Hoang (and Damian - and update! now Calvin) to hop in the car with me for our Sunday adventures to who-knows-where? It's easy - if I rename them "Sundae Adventures" and hit up a top-notch ice cream joint along the way. Connecticut has a wealth of old school, real milk, real sugar, real fruit … [Read more...]
Unique and/or Historic Dining Establishments
Bon Vivarent This is another one of my infamous mish-mosh pages where I stick everything bar/restaurant related that doesn't really fit anywhere else. Stuff not on my CT Food Tour of the World, or classic diners, or other food and drink lists... though there will be some unavoidable crossover. If you have … [Read more...]
Wineries, Vineyards, & Meaderies
Whining Connecticut Wineries and a Meadery Skip down to The Wineries The Connecticut Wine Trail adopted a new slogan in 2012: “Taste the Adventure!” This didn’t particularly strike me as the best possible choice, so I asked a few people for their reaction to it. My wife Hoang replied, “It’s telling me to lick … [Read more...]
World Cup Tour 2006
I was able to fulfill a dream in 2004 by going to France to see the Tour de France. Another wish is to see the World Cup in all its insanity at some point in my life. Short of that, I was fascinated by a series of online articles in Salon back in 2002 in which the intrepid reporter attempted to watch World Cup games … [Read more...]
Dairy De-Lite
Dari Delight? Dairy Delite? Dairy De-Lite, Woodbury Woodbury is quite famous for being the antiques capital of Connecticut. A drive down route 6 through town certainly bears this out. There are approximately 218 antique galleries here. Alas, I’m not into antiques and while I'm sure these shops and galleries are … [Read more...]
Sweet Cioccolata
Sweeeet, Bro Sweet Cioccolata, Wallingford May 19, 2018 I joked before that downtown Wallingford must have the most bars per capita in the state. I have no idea if that’s even close to being true, but at least one Walli-World resident noted, “Yeah, there are a lot.” So there you have it. Data Science at its … [Read more...]
Dubl Twister
Muito Obrigado Ice Cream at Double Twister, Danbury Danbury has a very large Brazilian population. As you’d then expect, there are a bunch of Brazilian restaurants in Danbury. (My quick research shows a distinct lack of true Brazilian waxing operations in town, however.) Dubl Twister is unique among … [Read more...]
