Less Swank, More Salt Swanky Franks, Norwalk Swanky Frank's closed in 2017. I promise: I'll return to Swanky Franks someday and have a proper sit down diner experience and order these fries again. Promise. (Update: this never happened... see above.) Because this review of their fries - one of Roadfood's … [Read more...]

Beaver Brook Farms
Beaver Cheese Beaver Brook Farms, Lyme 8/24/2009 It took some doing, but Hoang has finally convinced me that a warm and sunny lazy summer day at the beach is a worthwhile and wonderful pursuit. And I, on the flipside, have convinced her that stops along the way to sample some of Connecticut’s cheese is equally … [Read more...]
143. B.F. Clyde’s Cider Mill
How You Like These Apples? B.F. Clyde's Cider Mill, Stonington (Google Maps location) October 24, 2009 Since this first visit, we have been to Clyde's several times. There are some pictures from a 2013 as well. Since you were wondering, no, I haven’t used this title before. Over at the oldest operational cider … [Read more...]
Apple Pie at Beardsley’s Cider Mill
A Pretty, Crumby Pie Beardsley's Cider Mill, Shelton October 2009 I revisited in 2024 and it's much the same, except they've added a distillery in a separate building a few hundred yards away. It's called White Hills Distillery here's my visit. Ah, bliss. An October weekend in New England with a trip … [Read more...]
Pizza at Carminuccio’s
Veggie Tales Carminuccio's Pizza & Subs, Newtown It sure is nice to live in a state which arguably has the best pizza in America. I usually get no argument when I say that except in New York City. Elsewhere, they just look surprised, make some lame effort at talking up their local pie, and then go crawl away once I … [Read more...]
Cato Corner Farm
The Cato Institute of Cheese Cato Corner Farm, Colchester August 2009 I should tell you all that I stop in at Cato pretty much every single time I travel down Route 2. This page is now ancient, and Cato Corner deserves better, but... such is the nature of CTMQ. As this page is so old, I can't pretend that … [Read more...]
Stonington Vineyards
Huh-Huh, STONE-ington, Huh-Huh Stonington Vineyards, Stonington October 24, 2009 I’ve come to love Stonington. I really like its sea-faring (and therefore, seafood) roots. It’s not all snobby like some of the shore towns to the west, but it certainly could be, because it’s just as pretty as any other town along … [Read more...]
Jonathan Edwards Winery
Gewurztraminer Examiner Jonathan Edwards Winery, Stonington October 24, 2009 I was recently asked by a reporter which Connecticut winery was my favorite. I said that I had no idea. So the question was rephrased to, which one is the prettiest? Hm. I hadn’t ever thought about that even though almost every time … [Read more...]
Hot Dogs at Blackie’s
Grinning Like a Cheshire (Hot) Dog Cheshire, on Old Waterbury Road Cost: Really cheap Yup. More hot dogs. And I think at this point working my way through the Sterns’ Eat Before You Die list, I’m not quite halfway through all the hot dogs on the list! At least they are cheap and easy. Imagine if they had such … [Read more...]
Fish Family Farm
Milk and Ice Cream and Cheese From a Fish Fish Family Farm, Bolton August 2009 No, the Fish Family does not raise or sell fish. They raise cows and chickens and sell milk and ice cream and cheese eggs and other related items. The Fish Family Farm Creamery and Dairy really is a great little reminder of days gone … [Read more...]
