Hit the Road(food), Jack When I finish a list for CTMQ, I must admit, it is often with a mixture of joy, relief, and sadness. I think the reasons for all three are pretty easily sorted in this case. When I first took on the challenge of tracking down and eating all 68 items/meals that the author Sterns decided … [Read more...]
Pizza at Sally’s Apizza
The Best Pizza on Earth Sally’s Apizza, New Haven June 2015 Disclaimer: I love Sally’s. I love them more than I love Pepe’s and Modern and every other pretender to the exalted throne that lords over the Connecticut pizza kingdom. Unapologetically. (And you thought that disclaimer was going to be one … [Read more...]
Burger at Clamp’s Hamburger Stand
Clamping Down on This Roadfood List Clamp's Hamburger Stand, New Milford Clamp’s! I did it! For years I tried to get to this place on trips out “west”. It takes pride in not being open very much and (previously) being somewhat secretive about its location. This makes no sense, of course, but that's how they … [Read more...]
Hot Dogs at Top Dog
Top of Da Food Chain! Top Dog, Portland We have arrived at the very last and final hot dog on the Sterns' Roadfood "Eat Before it's too Late" list. There are sixteen hot dogs on the list. And that's absurd. Fortunately (unfortunately?), three of the places on the list were closed by the time I got around … [Read more...]
Food & Drink
Restaurants, Foods, Diners, Taverns, Ice Cream, Cheese, Chocolate, Breweries, Brewpubs, Cideries, Kombucheries, Wineries, Meaderies, Distilleries, & Soda Makers This page now serves as a fairly robust jumping off point for the many food and drink sections of CTMQ. The state has maintained some culinary “trails” over … [Read more...]
Hot dogs at Mr. Mac’s Canteen
Miggedy-Miggedy-Miggedy Mac Mr. Mac’s Canteen Monroe "We deep fry our hotdogs and then roll them on the grill, crisp, and put them on a fresh toasted, grilled roll," says Jeffrey McFadden, co-owner of Mr. Mac's Canteen (in a now dead link from the Courant.) And so, as I near the end of this epic multi-year … [Read more...]
Hot Dog at Lake Zoar Drive-In
Me Hungry. ZOOOOOAAARRR! Lake Zoar Drive-In Monroe It has been a couple years since I’ve been able to enjoy a new Roadfood “Eat Before You Die” entry. Oh sure, I’ve had plenty of repeat items over that time, but no new ones. So when I figured I could scoot out to Stevenson – part of Monroe that refuses … [Read more...]
Pizza at Pizzeria Laurentano
From Napoli to Bethel 291 Greenwood Ave, Bethel 16 Bucks I think This restaurant closed in 2017. Nailed it. Finally. I think we tried to get pizza here twice before over the years, only to find it closed. (Note: this is still only about 10% as frustrating as trying get pies at Pepe’s or Sally’s in New … [Read more...]
Shore Dinner at Abbott’s Lobster in the Rough
Lobster in the Buff Shore Dinner at Abbott's Lobster in the Rough Groton, July 2012 Note: most of this intro stuff is repeated over on my page about their clam chowder, which makes the same Roadfood "Eat Before You Die" list separately. Abbott's is also on the US Best/"See Before You Die" list as well. I … [Read more...]
Clam Chowder at Abbott’s Lobster in the Rough
Come for the Lobster, Stay for the Chowder Clam Chowder at Abbott's Lobster in the Rough Groton Note: most of this intro stuff is repeated over on my page about their shore dinner, which makes the same list separately. Abbott's is also on the US Best/"See Before You Die" list as well. I suppose "in the rough" … [Read more...]
