Isabelle et Vincent

Oui, Oui, Oui All the Way Home Isabelle et Vincent, Fairfield April 2020 I have been known to bore people with the following story about our trip to France in 2004: A cheap baguette from a random little shop in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere in France is better than a baguette from any American high-end … [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...]

Tschudin Chocolates & Confections

Tschop NoTsch Tschudin Chocolates & Confections, Middletown January 9, 2015 I have no idea how to pronounce Tschudin. Is the ‘T’ completely silent, or is it a whisper of a ‘T’ sound? Or does it not even matter, because the mad (in a good way) polymath behind the eponymous chocolate shop has the full name of Rob … [Read more...]

Fascia’s Chocolates

Fascianably Old School Fascia’s, Waterbury Multiple Visits Going to Fascia’s reminds me of going to a really good Connecticut brewery. You exit the highway and drive to a somewhat blighted industrial area and park at a non-descript beige and brown building. But once inside – hoo boy – it’s magic. … [Read more...]

CocoaShak (Closed)

CocoaWhacked CocoaShak, Cheshire February 2013 Y'know... This Chocolate Trail thing is a fickle thing. I said fickle, not butter brickle. It was created only a few years ago in 2011 or so, and while it has added a few spots over the subsequent few years, it has already lost three. And if I was a betting man, I'd … [Read more...]
