I Got the Vapors From the Vespers Beltane Farm, Lebanon May 16, 2010 Beltane ceased commercial cheese-making in September 2018. They still exist and offer goat care classes and other farm-related stuff, just no more cheese... which is a bummer. I’ll do the world a favor and start off with a PSA: If you plan on … [Read more...]

Donut Bread Pudding at Dottie’s Diner
Just Stick With the Doughnuts Dottie's Diner, Woodbury, CT Since this page was written, Dottie’s has moved.

So I will … [Read more...]

Jones Family Winery
Keeping up With the Joneses Jones Family Winery, Shelton October 17, 2009 This was bound to happen. I write bits and pieces for CTMQ on two different laptops as well as during breaks at work once in a while and then load them onto the main iMac with the downloaded pictures and edit the pieces there. It gets a … [Read more...]
A Wiener in Mianus
I Had to Have a Wiener in Mianus [With apologies to Jackass and others who have previously documented this same experience.] I just spent an entire day with my friend Rob C doing CTMQ things in Greenwich and Stamford. We saw a bunch of museums and several other types of things you’ve come to expect from this … [Read more...]
Ice Cream at Big Dipper Ice Cream Factory
Prospecting For Deliciousness Big Dipper Ice Cream Factory, Prospect May 2010 This is getting tricky. Hitting places “on a list,” which has become sort of a CTMQ household joke, to spice up the drives back up from visiting my family in Delaware is starting to become more difficult. For obvious reasons, each time … [Read more...]

And that was before the COVID-19 pandemic decimated both types of establishments around the country. I can't define what a … [Read more...]
Collin’s Diner
Canaan Able to Eat Collin’s Diner, North Canaan April 2010 The word “iconic” is tossed about the American lexicon with wild abandon these days. I blame sports writers the most, but the word has invaded all corners or writing and commentating. I’m proud to say I don’t think I’ve used it more than a few times on … [Read more...]
Donuts at Coffee An’ Donuts
Coffee An a D would be nice Westport 2016 Update I don't really have much of an update for this page, as Coffee An' is still named Coffee An' and it's in the same location and still has a terrible parking lot and still makes good donuts. So I'll tell a story. We (all four of us) stopped in recently on … [Read more...]
Donuts at Neil’s Donut and Bake Shop
Boola Boola for Neil’s Yalesville (Wallingford) 2016 Update Neil's is another excellent Connecticut donut purveyor. Not only do I love their donuts, I love their location. Right off of the Wilbur Cross in Wallingford, they make a for a great stop on my way to New England Brewing Company. Or to my … [Read more...]
