Best, Unique, & Historic Restaurants & Foods
Food, Glorious Food! CT's Best, Unique, & Historic Restaurants & Food It’s completely ridiculous how much time and effort I’ve put into creating this page. I won't burden you with my woes, but suffice it to say that this has been 15 years in the making. There's a lot here, and restaurants are always opening and … [Read more...]
Al’s Hot Dog Stand
Relish Connecticut's Bounty Al's Hot Dog Stand, Naugatuck April 2022 I started "completing" the Roadfood "Eat Before You Die" list what? a decade ago? I actually plowed through the 60 or so places that was still open and then Michael and Jane Stern released another version of their fun book with a slew of … [Read more...]
Lakeside Diner
Lake With a Side of Home Fries Lakeside Diner, Stamford April 2022 Lakeside Diner appears on the Roadfood Eat Before You Die List for its donuts. Recency bias is a very real thing that we all suffer from. Try as I might to fight it, it's impossible to completely disengage from its clutches. If you're not … [Read more...]
Italian Chicken Cutlet Grinder at Wethersfield Pizza House
Ridiculous. Just Ridiculous. Wethersfield Pizza House, Wethersfield September 2021 A couple years ago I was talking with my friend about life and parenting and kids and sports.

The Roadfood List Afterword
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...]
