I was sad when Empire Szechuan closed down ... but things are looking up!

I just found out that Chip's Restaurants are taking over at 775 Main St. South in Southbury! If you don't know about them, they've been in business since 1966, with locations in Trumbull, Fairfield, Orange and Wethersfield, CT.

And coming in May of 2015 - SOUTHBURY. YEAH!!!

I love breakfast food for dinner, and Chip's serves it all day. They've been voted best breakfast in the state, and best pancakes in the state for many years running.

Jeez, I was excited about the movie theater project, and now this? I may have to give up my palatial estate in Waterbury to move closer to pancake-nirvana. If you'd like to get a head-start on what you're going to order in May, check out their website: chipsrestaurants.com
