It takes a lot for me to spend $30 or more on a steak at a grocery store, but I found one totally worth every penny in Woodbury over the weekend.

If you hurry, you can still find Mishima Ultra Reserve American Wagyu Ribeye steaks at LaBonne's Markets in Connecticut. I was at the Woodbury LaBonne's this past Saturday and picked up the beauty that you'll see below. Wagyu beef is considered to be the best in the world. It's on the menu at David Burke Prime and Michael Jordan's steakhouse at Foxwoods and Mohegan but expect to pay $120-$200 for someone to cook it for you. For 1/4 of that, this American Wagyu steak is incredible. The marbling is amazing, and the taste and texture? It's a new world. Have a look at the best $30 steak that you can buy in Connecticut right now.

The Culinary Highlights Along Route 44 Through Litchfield County

I love exploring Litchfield County since I made the move to Torrington, there are so many underrated restaurants, cafes, and bakeries that don't get the attention of someplace in Hartford, New Haven, or Danbury. Route 44 is a major roadway that cuts across Northern Litchfield County east to west from Lakeville to New Hartford, if you're hungry, here are some great places to stop.
