My tastebuds have always looked forward to Connecticut Magazine's, "Best Restaurants In Connecticut" issue.

For their 2017 Best Restaurants issue, Connecticut Magazine pulls out all the stops by reviewing Connecticut's best eateries in two different ways. The magazine sends six different individuals to restaurants all over the state who are considered experts when it comes to all things food, plus they ask their readers to weigh in on which restaurants are their favorites in many different categories. The expert picks(EP) have many winners for each category, but the reader's choice(RC) only has one winner and a runner-up for each category.

In this blog, I will condense the results into which Danbury Area eateries take the prize in the selected categories. I must say that Danbury area restaurants scored quite well!
