Top 5 Connecticut Food and Beverage Stories of 2018

My craving for seafood runs deep whether it's shrimp, lobster, trout, halibut, or my favorite, scallops. I will usually order a seafood dish when dining out so it's no surprise that after some intense internet research, I decided to help myself and fellow seafood lovers locate some of the best seafood restaurants along the Connecticut shoreline.

Back in the day, the Danbury area had some mighty fine local clubs where you could step out and enjoy some live kick-ass rock n' roll bands. Does the Fore N' Aft, Tuxedo Junction, or Stage Three jog your memory?

Good luck trying to get a table at one of Danbury's most popular eateries, Augie's Restaurant on a Friday or Saturday night. The former chef at Augie's, Ricardo Duran has opened up his very own restaurant in Danbury named after his wife, Gisella. Read all about it by clicking on the title.

Who doesn't like a succulent cheeseburger except for my wife! It's almost un-American. Back in September, I wrote up a post on where you can find the best cheeseburgers in the greater Danbury area. Warning: if you're not hungry when you click on this post, you'll be begging for a cheeseburger when you finish.
