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 27, 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 … [Read more...]
Burger at Clamp’s Hamburger Stand
Clamping Down on This Roadfood List 518 Litchfield Rd, New Milford Cost: Six bucks or so? 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, … [Read more...]
Hot Dogs at Top Dog
Top of Da Food Chain! In a parking lot in Portland Cost: a few bucks 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 … [Read more...]
Food & Drink Intro
Connecticut Food & Drink Table of Contents Restaurants, Breweries, Wineries, Cheese! Ice Cream! & More! This page now serves as a fairly robust jumping off point for all sorts of food and drink sections of CTMQ. The state has maintained some culinary “trails” over the years and I’ve done them all. I’ve also … [Read more...]
Hot dogs at Mr. Mac’s Canteen
Miggedy-Miggedy-Miggedy Mac Mr. Mac’s Canteen, Monroe Cost: $2.40 "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. And so, as I near the end of this epic multi-year Roadfood hotdog … [Read more...]
Hot Dog at Lake Zoar Drive-In
Me Hungry. ZOOOOOAAARRR! Lake Zoar Drive-In, Monroe (Stevenson), CT Cost: $3.39 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 – … [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 117 Pearl Street, Noank 2016 Update: I don't really have much with which to update this page. Only to apologize for the small format pictures that I used to upload for the first 8 years of CTMQ. Abbott's is still a fun place to eat... and still … [Read more...]

Come for the Lobster, Stay for the Chowder Clam Chowder at Abbott's Lobster in the Rough 117 Pearl Street, Noank Note: most of this intro stuff is repeated over on my page about their shore dinner, which makes the same list separately. Just skip ahead if you've already read that page... Though I hope you figured … [Read more...]
