This blog is going to be all about one of my favorite hobbies in life: eating. As my brother once told me, "Allison, people either eat to live or live to eat. I eat to live. You live to eat." To which I replied, "Exactly! I feel so bad for you, you're missing out on so much!"
So if you share my love of good food, good wine, and good friends and are proud to admit that you never (well, hardly ever) eat at chain restaurants, this blog is for you!
This will not be a traditional "restaurant review" site, as there are plenty of those already. Plus, I'm not a food critic or anything, just someone who travels a lot around the state of Connecticut and likes to find interesting food. What I'm going to do is post my recommendations of good restaurants I've visited, categorized by cuisine. I'll describe the food, atmosphere, and value of each restaurant and give my opinion on what occasion it's best suited for.
In addition, I'll be posting reviews of recipes from books and online that I've attempted and (sometimes!) succeeded in making. If you have any requests for recipes or cuisines that you want to see me write about, post them in the comments. Of course, I'm always on the lookout for new recipes and restaurants to try, so share them with me as well.
And, to channel every foodie's heroine, Julia Child...bon appetit!
