This review is from: Food Lovers' Guide to Connecticut, 3rd: Best Local Specialties, Markets, Recipes, Restaurants, and Events (Food Lovers' Series) (Paperback)

This is food porn at its finest. Listings of restaurants, markets, farms, and farmer markets across the state are not complete but definitely comprehensive. It's arranged by region so you can plot out your trip easily. If food is your thing then you'll want this book!
