Lobster Roll at Johnny Ad’s
Eating Lobster Rolls Really Ad’s Up Johnny Ad's, Old Saybrook With each successive trip to the beach this summer, we've been trying to pick off CTMQ items. A Freedom Trail site here, a rock of interest there. But mostly, and keep my beautiful wife happy with my pursuits, we've been knocking eats off the "500 … [Read more...]
Cheeseburger at Shady Glen
I Feel Shady Eating Cow Shady Glen, Manchester As CTMQ readers may know, I don't eat dead cows (or pigs or goats for that matter). However, for the hugely important purposes of the site, I've cast aside my aversion to the meat industry (really, I don't care about the cows themselves so much) in an effort to sample … [Read more...]
Ice Cream at Shady Glen
Made in the Shady Shady Glen, Manchester August 2009 Shady Glen makes a few appearances on CTMQ. One for their Unique and delicious fried cheese plate, one for their burgers being one of Roadfood's best burgers, and this one - for its ice cream being on that same Roadfood list.

Maugle Sierra Vineyards
I Straugle with the Name Maugle Maugle Sierra Vineyards, Ledyard July 11, 2009 "Maugle." I've tried and tried to find the derivation of the word and have come up with nothing. Perhaps it's a family name? A rather non-Spanish sounding Spanish word of some sort? I don't know. All I could find was this … [Read more...]

UConn Dairy Bar
I Dream of Jonathan. There. I Said It. UConn Dairy Bar, Mansfield May 24, 2009 & Other Visits CTMQ is far too big and often unwieldy. It has sprawled from being just about museums into all sorts of directions and sections. I recently began eating Jane and Michael Stern's "Eat Before You Die" Roadfood items across … [Read more...]
UConn Dairy Bar Cheese
Juustoleipa! Juustoleipa! Cheese at The UConn Dairy Bar, Mansfield Since Connecticut's cheese makers haven't banded together yet to create the Connecticut Cheese Trail (a la the CT Wine Trail), I'm striking out on my own.
