Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah Zip’s Diner, Killingly July 2011 I realize that these very few and far between classic diner posts may just look like an excuse to post even more pictures of Damian. Eh, you may be right. So far I’m two for two in diner experiences as far as Damian being well-behaved and not having a tantrum. … [Read more...]
The Griswold Inn
The Oldest Tavern? Oldest Inn? First Three-Story Building in Connecticut? Griswold Inn Essex Essex is such a beautiful town. Really and truly. There’s really not much wrong with Essex. When they write books about “New England charm,” Essex is always at the top of those lists. If I were forced to open a Bed & … [Read more...]
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. I always mention that because I don’t want people to think my (often) negative reviews should be seriously considered. What the heck do I know? Well, for once I can report that I … [Read more...]
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. Ted’s is iconic in much the same way Louis Lunch in New Haven is. That is, it’s unique and it’s old and therefore it has cache and apparently people like to pretend it’s … [Read more...]
Brats and Kielbasa at Windmill Tavern
I’m All Wound Up The Windmill Tavern, Stratford Writing this site has led me to a whole slew of fascinating places. 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. I was pretty worn out but also pretty darn hungry. I was actually excited for my 10-inch hot dog. Guida’s is one of the rare Roadfood … [Read more...]
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...]
Georgie’s Diner
A Haven For Diner Fans Georgie’s Diner, West Haven August 2010 2019: This page is pretty bad and I'll need to revisit Georgie's someday to redo it. I took this day off from work many months in advance. There was a museum to get to only open on Wednesday afternoons and a once-per-year museum in Hamden. I made … [Read more...]
Pizza at Colony Grill
Colony Has Spawned a Colony of Followers Colony Grill, Stamford This is a tough one. I so want to love Colony. One of my bestest friends in the whole wide world can’t say enough positive things about Colony. She has lived her whole life in Stamford and Colony is her main source of Stamford pride. She – … [Read more...]
Pizza at Modern Apizza
For Those That Consider 1935 “Modern” Modern Apizza, New Haven Ah, one of the Holy Trinity of Pizza. Notice I didn’t qualify “pizza” with “New Haven” or “Connecticut” or “American” or even “Worldwide.” That’s because as everyone who knows anything about the pizza arts knows that the greatest pizza in the world … [Read more...]
