Happy Croissant Day to you, my friend. No, I'm not making this up; it's a legitimate holiday. According to Blank Calendar Pages:

"Croissant Day is celebrated on January 30th each year to honor the perfect breakfast pastry – croissants. Chewy and fluffy, these crescent-shaped rolls are typically made from flour, yeast, salt, butter, and milk. The key to a perfect croissant is folding butter into the mixture to create several thin layers of butter and dough. The result is a soft, airy body with a scrumptious, flaky crust."

Don't get me wrong, I love the croissant but I should warn you that this is not a food you eat in your car before an important meeting. I've made this mistake one too many times. You head into work thinking you're all put together and everyone laughs in your face because you're covered in buttery debris.

Not only are you wearing the evidence on your shirt but folks can see it in your eyes that you are seconds away from slipping into a carb-coma. It's a basic rule of thumb, the better the food the worse it will make you look if you house three of them in your car.

These are some of answers we got texted to us on the I-95 Rock Mobile app chat feature.

If you consider yourself a breakfast sandwich connoisseur, you know that a bad one will really upset you, so getting the right deli or breakfast spot is what matters most. Most breakfast sandwich extremists know exactly where they are going when they are hungry in the morning and they have their favorite spot.

A churro is a fried dough dessert found in Spanish and Portuguese cuisine. When covered in cinnamon and dipped in Dulce De Leche, it's one of my favorites. The question with anything worth having is, how far do I have to go to get it? If you live in Danbury or Brookfield, you are not going far at all. And, I'd put our churros in Danbury + Brookfield's up against any churro you can get anywhere. These are some of Danbury + Brookfield's Best Churro Spots.
