We've Buttoned Up the Ice Cream List Buttonwood Farm, Griswold August 2010 When is eating delicious ice cream a sad affair? When it's the last of the 7 Roadfood "Eat Before It's Too Late" ice cream joints on the list I'm completing. I think Hoang shed a tear. A butterfat tear. Of course, Hoang convinced me … [Read more...]
Hotdogs at Carolyn’s Weenie Wagon (Closed)
See More Weenies! Carolyn’s Weenie Wagon, Seymour Carolyn's Weenie Wagon closed in 2015. For a guy who really doesn’t eat meat, let alone mysterious hot dog “meat,” I sure do love hot dogs.

Steamed Cheeseburger at O’Rourke’s Diner
O’h, O’kay O’Rourke’s Diner, Middletown If you’ve read any of my other burger reviews you know that I generally don’t eat beef.

Steamed Cheeseburger at Ted’s
Seriously? Ted's Restaurant Meriden I will revisit Ted's in 2023 and rewrite this page. I asked in the title, “seriously”? Apparently so.

Some have been hidden off in the woods and some have been in the dingy bowels of churches. The Windmill in Stratford, however, stands alone. I loved it – really and truly – but that doesn’t make it … [Read more...]
Hot Dogs at (New) Guida’s
Worth a Hike to Get Here 484 Meriden Rd., Middlefield I went to lunch at Guida’s (now officially called New Guida’s) towards the tail-end of an all-day weekday CTMQ day.

Hot Dogs at JK’s Original (Closed)
I Got Me a Nice Wiener (J/K) 126 South St, Danbury After nearly 100 years, JK's Closed in October 2022. The Roadfood hot dog slog continues… So. Many. Hot dogs. Going to 700 museums and hiking 100's and 100's of miles of trails in Connecticut seems easy in comparison. But I signed up for this and I will see it … [Read more...]

Doctor, Doctor, Gimme the Ice Cream (Pt 2) Dr. Mike's, Bethel September 2010 (Don’t expect too much different here from the other Dr. Mike’s entry if you’ve read that one - from our visit to their Monroe location.) I thought it was a good idea to hit up both Dr. Mike’s locations. My reasoning was simple: … [Read more...]
