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...]

My wife Hoang … [Read more...]
Granby: Complete!
Granby: Complete! @ The Barn I’m very excited to write this page. This is the 9th of what may ultimately be 169 town completion celebration pages! Yes, of course I am fully aware of how absurd that is. Send your condolences to my wife and children, care of the comments below. For those of you who are new … [Read more...]
Ferris Acres Creamery
A Good Way to Spend a Day Off Ferris Acres Creamery, Newtown August 2013 “Hey Steve, why haven’t you gone to Ferris Acres yet? Bueller? Bueller?” My answer is always the same, “Oh but I have. I just haven’t written about it yet. I'm waiting for a Ferris Day Off.” My point is that Ferris Acres commands a lot of … [Read more...]
Harwinton: Complete!
Harwinton: Complete! The Landing Zone I’m very excited to write this page. This is the eighth of what may ultimately be 169 town completion celebration pages! Yes, of course I am fully aware of how absurd that is. Send your condolences to my wife and children, care of the comments below. For those of you … [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...]
