The Word "Raw" in the Name is Sort of Weird Rawley's Drive-In Fairfield A couple museums after my earlier hot dog experience over at Super Duper Weenie, it was time for another hotdog. Whereas the SDW dog was merely a Roadfood Honorable Mention, the Rawley's dog is said to be the second best deep-fried hot dog in … [Read more...]
Fried Cheese at Shady Glen
It's Cheese. And it's Fried. 'Nuff Said. Shady Glen, Manchester July 16, 2009 This page is going into the "unique food as far as I know it" file... which is very important. That way, I'll feel better about the fact that my son and I ate several pieces of cheese - make that FRIED cheese - for the good of the … [Read more...]
*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...]
Tour Stop 12: One Last Meat Up for Soccer
Game 19 Brazil Grille, Hartford July 8, 2006 Our last stop on the World Cup Tour 2006 was, for me, the most anticipated. I had previewed the Brazil Grill restaurant the week prior by popping my head in during the group play Japan game. Even though it was a Thursday afternoon and the game meant absolutely nothing … [Read more...]
Tour Stop 11: God Save the Beckham
Game 18 The Half Door, Hartford June 27, 2006 As with most Americans, I'm a bit of a mutt; A Germano-Scotch-English one. I suppose I'm mostly English, but I look a bit more Scottish I'm told. At any rate, I find a part of me cheering on the Brits at this point in the World Cup. We pasty white guys need to stick … [Read more...]
Tour Stop 9: Ed Has a Heart After All
Game 16 Goal International Sports Bar, Hartford June 22, 2006 At this point, I'm only writing this blog entry for the sake of consistency. Because our first attempt at a "Brazilian day" was a bit of a failure. Albeit a fun and delicious failure. We opted to watch the game versus Australia on Sunday at Goal … [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...]
Doughnuts at Tastease
Tasteasy Like Every Morning Tastease, 70 New Park Ave, Hartford 2016 Update: Tastease was for sale. Then it wasn't. Then it was closing. Then it wasn't. Then it went through that whole cycle again. And again. Finally, after years of threatening to do so, in March 2016 Tony and Susan sold Tastease. They … [Read more...]
Red Potato & Pickle Pizzas at Willington Pizza
You Say Potato, I Say Delicious Willington Pizza House, Willington Multiple visits Way back in the 1990's, some college or college-age students used to do a thing called "dating." This was before online social media and smartphone apps made such a quaint practice obsolete among that demographic. And if you went … [Read more...]
Tour Stop 8: Italian Whine
Game 15 Francesca's Ristorante, Hartford June 18, 2006 Despite my apparent zeal for the World Cup, I've never really been a soccer super fan. Sure, I played up through 9th grade like every suburban kid in America. And yeah, I paid attention maybe a little bit more than others to things like the World Cup, but … [Read more...]
