One of our favorite Connecticut festivals is happening 8/31 and 9/1: Blues, Views & BBQ.

A one day pass for an adult is $25 or you can get a two day pass for $45, Seniors 65 or older pay $15/$25, students from 13-20 pay $15/$25, and children 12 and under are free. Here are all the juicy and smokey cool deets:
Bobby Q’s BBQ Kicks off the Season with Beer Garden Opening – Westport, CT
20 MayBiergarten: literally translating over to beer garden. Much cooler than kindergarten which is, literally, a garden of children?! Um, no thanks…we’ll take a garden of brews, ales, and stouts thank you very much. And, we’ve seen beer gardens sprouting up recently: the popular Beer Garden @ Harbor Point opened recently and The Landmark Biergarten at Station Eats is opening up any day now. But, Bobby Q’s Bodacious BBQ & Grill in Westport has been ahead of the curve.
Bobby Q’s Pit Stop in Greenwich: Bob LeRose Opens 3rd Restaurant with Cousin Joey Boucher!
12 FebBob LeRose, owner of Bobby Q’s in Westport and Bar Q in Stamford grew up in the Riverside neighborhood of Greenwich, CT. Do you think he ever realized that just right down the block from his first home would be the site of his future restaurant, his third nonetheless? Or, do you think he ever could have imagined that he’d create one of the best festivals in Connecticut: Blues, Views, & BBQ? How could any person (aside from John Edwards) fortell such awesomeness?
So, what does Bob LeRose have in store for us in Greenwich with Bobby Q’s Pit Stop (no site yet) that will open in about three weeks? Well, starting off he’s teamed up with his cousin Joey Boucher who first opened up Joey B’s in Cos Cob. This team makes the perfect pairing for what Bobby Q’s Pit Stop will be all about: bbq, burgers, dogs, chili, sides, and salads to go. Their new restaurant will be located at 1340 East Putnam Ave. in Greenwich right where Moe’s Burger Joint used to be. If you feel like eating in, there will be 12 seats and plenty of standing room while you devour the best of American cuisine. Speaking of the food, let’s dive deeper into the menu. There will be some classic dishes from Bobby Q’s in Westport. On the menu will also be five different chilis based off of the family recipe, held onto by their Uncle Frank. The dogs featured here blew Bobby and Joey away and are made by a company in Boston. They are the first restaurant in Connecticut to serve these dogs up! The burgers are going to be great too, made with fresh daily ground beef that is sourced locally. Also, the salads are a nice option for friends or family members who don’t want meat or want something not as heavy…there are plans for three different kinds right now. Rounding things up are the sides, many of which are vegetarian friendly…very nice touch. You don’t have to be Debbie Downer anymore and be the one to say, “Oh, but they don’t have anything vegetarian here!”

15 OctWe’ll just cut to the chase here, no flowery language, no extended metaphors, no crazy stories: Bob LeRose of Bobby Q’s and Bar Q is one of our most favoriterest people in the world!

But, we’ve got a special deal for you from our friends at BEVBUCKS (see our intro to them). You’ll pay just $27.50 when you purchase your ticket here. Quite a nice deal, huh?
