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...]

Dulce de Leche Can Get Messi 765 Farmington Avenue, West Hartford Several visits between 1999 & 2016 When I renewed my promise to myself to write as much original content for CTMQ as I can in mid-2016, I also promised to try to do more food stuff. Mostly these hole-in-the-wall specialty ethnic places. As … [Read more...]
Monkey Farm Cafe
Just Monkeying Around Here Monkey Farm Cafe, Old Saybrook There are something like 1800 pages on CTMQ. I've done, visited, experienced, eaten, drank, etc. every single thing on every single one of those pages. Which makes this page quite unique. For I have not actually been inside the Monkey Farm Cafe in Old … [Read more...]
Kent Falls Brewing Company
Kent Ascends Kent Falls Brewing Company, Kent Many visits over many years Kent Falls is the rare Connecticut brewery that has warranted three major updates from me on this website. For whatever reason, I wrote about them back when they first became operational. No one could visit the brewery then (2015-16) but I … [Read more...]
Onyx Spirits (Closed)
BACDAFUCUP Onyx Spirits Company, East Hartford January 2016 Onyx closed this location in May 2018 with stated plans of reopening “somewhere.” That was likely never a realistic plan at all and Onyx has disappeared entirely. This is one of those pages that I’ve been waffling on how to write it. I’m very … [Read more...]

Cheese Boro Whey (Closed)
I Guess It's The Cheese Boro Way Cheese Boro Whey, Stonington May 16, 2015 Reports say Cheese Boro Whey closed in 2018. Man, it’s been quite a while since I’ve done a new CT Cheese Trail post. (If curious, the CT Cheese Trail is not a real thing. I made it up, but I maintain a pretty good list of CT cheese … [Read more...]
Jewish: Crown Market
Where is "Jewish?" Bishop's Corner, West Hartford October 2015 This is my first "food/restaurant" post in the "CT Restaurant Tour of the World" section in which I flew solo. I still don't really know what to do with this section and I darn well know that I'm not qualified to write about food. At … [Read more...]
Relic Brewing Company
Since 2012?! A True Connecticut Relic Relic Brewing, Plainville Updated December 2017 Ah, Relic. So much to say about Relic and its eccentric owner/brewer Mark Sigman. While there are 10,000-words worth of stuff to say about Relic, I will do my best to limit myself. There are many things with which to … [Read more...]
Pizza at Sally’s Apizza
The Best Pizza on Earth Sally’s Apizza, New Haven June 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 one … [Read more...]
