Leave a comment

Busy day at work? Feel like taking a break and going out for lunch? Need something fast? And definitely something good? Love seafood? Well….. I have the perfect answer for you!

Fjord Fish Market in Cos Cob, Connecticut.

I have visited there a few times in the past couple of months. It is Fairfield county’s premier fish market - well known for its quality and fresh seafood offering premium and responsibly-sourced seafood. How perfect that they also offer prepared as well as made-to-order foods - complete with party platters as well as lunch options … Continue Reading ››

Beyond Fairfield County CT

Scintillating San Francisco

Leave a comment

What a great city it is! Vibrant and welcoming with an outdoorsey-lifestyle that lasts all year round. Beautiful waterfronts, parks and piers. And food. Good food. Damn good food! We are talking fresh-from-the-farm fruits and vegetables. Just-caught seafood. And an incredible group of chefs who are doing magical things with these fabulous ingredients.

This was my third visit to San Francisco.... and I was excited to hit all the must-do items I had added to my list since the last time I was here. Needless to say - they all had to do with food!!!

How Many Ways Shall I Enjoy My Lobstah!

Leave a comment

I just couldn’t say “No” to a recent invitation to check out the updated menu at LobsterCraft in Darien. I have followed captain Mike all over Fairfield county since he first started his business in a food truck. He has since expanded with a brick and mortar location in Darien as well as his first location in New York city (1 Penn Plaza). I love LobsterCraft and its creative menu - and judging by captain Mike’s recent business expansion, I am obviously not the only one who feels that way.

The menu is getting better … Continue Reading ››

Sunday Sauce - Italian Style

Leave a comment

Bold. Big hearted. Bursting with flavor. BAM!!!

Sunday night at a dinner table full of friends (old and new), unusual selections of beer, impeccably chosen wines paired with delicious and hearty food! Laughter and camera flashes bursting every now and then. Unanimous oooh’s and aaah’s heard all around as each dish arrived at the table. Each unmistakably oozing with love, passion and pride that went into it. Conversation ranging from topics of food to nuances of wine to upcoming beer festivals to local gossip to who can drink the most alcohol to travel destinations to….. Don’t you … Continue Reading ››

Well, folks! As 2014 comes to a close, I can’t help but look back and feel a great sense of satisfaction. I ATE A LOT this year - and I am all the happier for it. My personal journey took me on an exploration of all things food near and far! I got to check off a lot of items on my list and of course add tons of new ones.

There were many memorable bites of food and full-on dining experiences. In the next few articles, I will recap of my most notable food moments of … Continue Reading ››

Basso Cafe: Exuberant and Exceptional

Leave a comment

Have you ever heard of Basso Cafe in Norwalk?

I discovered this gem long before I started blogging.... And once I started blogging, I have not had the pleasure of dining there again. But all this while, I have noticed that not many Fairfield county residents talk about it. Could it be that they don’t know of Basso? Or is it that, those who are in the know - wish to keep it as “their little secret”? Well! After finally re-visiting Basso Cafe last weekend, I tend to believe it’s the latter.

You probably haven’t seen … Continue Reading ››

Match Chelsea chef Matt Storch

A Master’s Classroom

Leave a comment

Matt Storch - a master chef - a man well loved and liked by Fairfield county residents - a man I greatly admire for his effortless talent and mesmerizing panache in the kitchen!

Every time I meet and chat with Matt, I am struck by the depth of knowledge he has on the subject of cooking. And while Matt does not know this, I secretly hope to someday shadow him in his kitchens at Match 2.0 (South Norwalk) and The Chelsea (Fairfield) hoping to learn from his years of experience. (I speak the truth, Matt! :-) )

Lobster Is A Craft!

Leave a comment

After about a year and half of chasing down “the truck” all around Fairfield county ... checking its status and location updates on the internet and social media, navigating the perpetually crowded roads and highways, meandering through area’s Farmers Markets on days when the truck was supposed to show up ..... this exhausted foodie is THRILLED that LobsterCraft has finally set up a brick and mortar shop in Darien! YAY!!!

Bursting with excitement soon after they opened, I could not wait to visit. So, I carefully watched my hectic schedule to find an opening to get there. … Continue Reading ››

Fin - An Oldie And A Goodie

Leave a comment

A few years and a couple of jobs ago, a colleague of mine used to RAVE about Fin. At that time, I did make a mental note to check it out for myself- but living near Westport area, I somehow always find myself at Matsu Sushi. Besides, with all the new restaurants that are opening constantly and with the ever changing culinary landscape of Fairfield county, it is easy to overlook the old gems that have been present right under our very noses? And so, sadly, I never gave Fin a chance ..... until now.

Perfect End To A Great Weekend

Leave a comment

Last weekend we had LOTS of family over from AZ, NJ and MA. The house buzzed with activity all weekend long, the conversation un-paused, and our kitchen the center of all the action.

When the last of the guests left on Sunday, all I could get myself to do was cuddle up on the couch with a good book and vegetate. The last thing I felt like doing was to get back in the kitchen and cook dinner. I had spent my weekend pampering others - and now I felt like being pampered. So, the obvious choice … Continue Reading ››
