This One’s For the Gipper Fairfield (Google Maps location) June 13, 2009 Fortune smiles on CTMQ. Either that or perhaps due to the fact that I’m always going to museums and driving all over the state, I get access to certain places and things that others rarely do. Such was the case on Open House Day at the … [Read more...]
114. Thomas J. Walsh Art Gallery
A Quick One Fairfield (Google Maps Location) June 13, 2009 Oh man. I'm busted. Busted, busted, busted. You see, with art museums I rely heavily upon their websites to better be able to describe the collections semi-intelligently. So far, I've been able to "get by" via this method. However, as I sit here … [Read more...]
Patrick Baker and Sons

*Fries at Super Duper Weenie
Super Stupor (Pt 2) Super Duper Weenie Fairfield If you read a bunch of these Roadfood's Best posts in succession, you may get the impression that I'm a bit snooty about my food and/or I think the Sterns of Roadfood are a little crazy. The truth lies somewhere in between... I like french fries, but I'm not a … [Read more...]
Hot Dog at Super Duper Weenie
Super Stupor? Super Duper Weenie Fairfield It bears repeating - and will be repeated again - I am not a meat eater. I hadn't eaten a beef/pork hot dog for about 10 years before beginning this list of Roadfood's best, um, road food around the country (though, of course, I'm sticking to Connecticut only). So I … [Read more...]
