We’re Hotsy for Breakfast Sammies @ Garden Catering = Damn Good Breakfast

It only took us a week after Garden Catering on Hamilton Avenue in Greenwich reopened to get down there for breakfast. Yes, we know they are the home of nuggets, but we are breakfast sandwich fiends (or sammies as we like to call them). In fact, if you had asked us if we’d rather give up our beloved sammies or lunch, we’d say sayonara mid-day meal . . . no one needs you when you can have eggs, bacon, chili, cheese, and in the middle of a big ‘ole doughy roll.

(Om + Nom) x (Brick + Wood) = ♥ in Fairfield, CT

Look, there are tons of Italian restaurants in CT, especially in Fairfield County. Some of ’em you can love, some you can just like, and some you can say aren’t even as good as Olive Garden (and that’s saying something). Well, after our press dinner we think Brick + Wood, the newest Italian spot to open in Fairfield in November 2014, is one you can love. We’re gonna break down the reasons why . . .

Back to School @ Fairfield Cheese Co. with Winter Cheese Classes in the 2015

If you are like most cultured people (get it?) here in the fine state of CT, you love your cheese. And, if you’re fortunate enough to live in or around Fairfield, you definitely know about Fairfield Cheese Company. Seriously: it’s the go-to spot for all the cheese and accoutrements that you could possibly need in FFLD. As you might know through previous posts, they often host Cheese School classes, so we wanted to share with you all of the classes that they’ll be offering to help you get through this crazy cold winter. Also be on the lookout as Greenwich Cheese Company sorts through their recent opening and prepares to host their own classes, too. Reservations can be made by calling (203) 292-8194 with payment due at that time. If you cancel before 24 hours, you’ll get a credit towards any future class, but short notice cancels are nonrefundable.

Holiday hijinks + deals in the 203 for the weekend of 12/6-7

Sometimes there might be one or two events to write about that are going down on the same weekend, but then again there are times when there’s a crazy amount of awesomeness happening all at the same time. Well, it just so happens to be one of those weekends coming up! So, as promised, here’s a schmatering (how did we even know how to spell that?) of things going on in Fairfield County!

Gift-mas-ukah Day 2: Jones Winery in Shelton, CT

Continuing our spotlight on great gifts from local Fairfield County producers, we turn our focus to Jones Winery located in the rolling hills of Shelton. And, when it comes to holiday gifts, is there anything that’s better than wine? You can bring bottles over to your family’s gatherings, give a bottle to a friend, or drink away your sorrows if the in-laws are over. But, seriously, Jones Winery.
