No Cookie Pusses Here Ridgefield Ice Cream Shop, Ridgefield July 2009 As has become my tactic, I made sure to figure out a route back from a week visiting my family in Delaware that would take in a few CTMQ sites. After hitting a museum on the way down, I figured we'd make it a little more fun - and delicious - on … [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...]
*Pancakes at Gail’s… Sort of
Pattycake Pattycake, Baker Steve Gail's on the Common, Ridgefield My Kitchen 2016 Update: This seems like a wholly unnecessary "update," but here goes. As you'll read, Gail's on the Common was closed before the book that contained the list I completed was published. The owner kept a sister restaurant (which had … [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...]
*Truffle at Bridgewater Chocolates
A Truffle not to be Trifled With Bridgewater Chocolates, Bridgewater (Brookfield and West Hartford retail stores) I found out the coolest thing this year; our year of frugality. The traditional sixth wedding anniversary gift is something steel and the modern gift is, get this, candy. Now, we're not a couple who … [Read more...]
Hot Dogs at Capitol Lunch
Delicious with a "Capitol" D Capitol Lunch, New Britain Michael Stern, the food critic who wrote the book that has compelled me to eat certain "must eat" things around the state, sure loves hot dogs. Cripes, of the 60 or so things to eat in Connecticut alone, SIXTEEN of them are gosh darn hot dogs! He … [Read more...]
