A Hard Cheese is Good to Find… M&K Dairy, Ladies of Levita Road, Lebanon March 12, 2011 This place closed in... I have no idea. Let's guess 2015. … Oh, LeviTA Road, not LeviTRA Road. Oh well. I found this tucked away dairy purveyor on only my second try. Quite frankly, if they didn’t have the name of the … [Read more...]

Hogans Cider Mill
I’m Mulling This One Over Hogans Cider Mill, Burlington October 31, 2010 I’m conflicted. You know I love long-lasting local businesses who use local goods. And who wouldn’t love a century-old cider mill on a perfect fall day in north central Connecticut? Apparently, that would be me. Back when I put … [Read more...]
Steamed Cheeseburger at O’Rourke’s Diner
O’h, O’kay O’Rourke’s Diner, Middletown If you’ve read any of my other burger reviews you know that I generally don’t eat beef. I always mention that because I don’t want people to think my (often) negative reviews should be seriously considered. What the heck do I know? Well, for once I can report that I … [Read more...]
Steamed Cheeseburger at Ted’s
Seriously? Ted's Restaurant Meriden I will revisit Ted's in 2023 and rewrite this page. I asked in the title, “seriously”? Apparently so. Ted’s is iconic in much the same way Louis Lunch in New Haven is. That is, it’s unique and it’s old and therefore it has cache and apparently people like to pretend it’s … [Read more...]
Brats and Kielbasa at Windmill Tavern
I’m All Wound Up The Windmill Tavern, Stratford Writing this site has led me to a whole slew of fascinating places. Some have been hidden off in the woods and some have been in the dingy bowels of churches. The Windmill in Stratford, however, stands alone. I loved it – really and truly – but that doesn’t make it … [Read more...]
Hot Dogs at New Guida’s Restaurant
Worth a Hike to Get Here Hot Dogs at New Guida’s Restaurant, Middlefield Multiple visits Most of this page is from a 2010 visit, but as you'll see some pictures are new as I've returned a few times because I like long hot dogs. I went to lunch at Guida’s (now officially called New Guida’s) towards the tail-end … [Read more...]
Hot Dogs at JK’s Original (Closed)
I Got Me a Nice Wiener (J/K) 126 South St, Danbury After nearly 100 years, JK's Closed in October 2022. The Roadfood hot dog slog continues… So. Many. Hot dogs. Going to 700 museums and hiking 100's and 100's of miles of trails in Connecticut seems easy in comparison. But I signed up for this and I will see it … [Read more...]
Ice Cream at Dr. Mike’s (Bethel)
Doctor, Doctor, Gimme the Ice Cream (Pt 2) Dr. Mike's, Bethel September 2010 (Don’t expect too much different here from the other Dr. Mike’s entry if you’ve read that one - from our visit to their Monroe location.) I thought it was a good idea to hit up both Dr. Mike’s locations. My reasoning was simple: … [Read more...]
Georgie’s Diner
A Haven For Diner Fans Georgie’s Diner, West Haven August 2010 2019: This page is pretty bad and I'll need to revisit Georgie's someday to redo it. I took this day off from work many months in advance. There was a museum to get to only open on Wednesday afternoons and a once-per-year museum in Hamden. I made … [Read more...]
Ice Cream at Dr. Mike’s v.Monroe (Closed)
Doctor, Doctor, Gimme the Ice Cream (Pt 1) Dr. Mike’s, Monroe July 2010 (Don’t expect too much different here from the other Dr. Mike’s entry if you’ve read that one – from our visit to their Bethel location. which is a good thing, since Dr. Mike's in Monroe has closed - Bethel location is still going … [Read more...]
