As detailed in Part Two of this report, we were eager to leave Montpelier, Vermont, and head for the New Haven, Connecticut area Wednesday morning. Our route took us past more beautiful scenery, including some trees with leaves that had changed color early. We were also going by Norwich, Vermont, which is where one canContinue reading “New England Road-Trip 2026: Part Three”

New England Road-Trip 2026: Part Two
Those of you who have read my past trip reports know that my wife and I have been visiting state capitol buildings during our travels for many years – even longer than we’ve been married. A pair in New England that we hadn’t yet hit before this trip were those in New Hampshire and Vermont.Continue reading “New England Road-Trip 2026: Part Two”
New England Road-Trip 2026: Part One
With the exception of the peak pandemic years, my wife and I have taken a roughly week-long vacation that included a heavy dose of roadfood stops annually for as long as we’ve been married. The majority of those trips have been to the Midwest. But we’ve also mixed in other parts of the country, withContinue reading “New England Road-Trip 2026: Part One”
2025 Midwest Roadfood Trip (Part Two)
This middle part of the trip report will be entirely devoted to our two days in southern Wisconsin. They started off with lunch Wednesday at the state’s oldest Chinese restaurant – and one of the oldest in the U.S. – the Cozy Inn of Janesville, Wisconsin. Regular readers of this blog know that one ofContinue reading “2025 Midwest Roadfood Trip (Part Two)”
2025 Midwest Roadfood Trip (Part One)
This blog was begun in 2021 so that I’d have public cyber space on which to recreate and save the trip reports that were permanently lost when the roadfood.com message board on which I posted them went defunct. It fairly quickly morphed into something else, but those reports are still available here along with aContinue reading “2025 Midwest Roadfood Trip (Part One)”
New York State and Connecticut: Part One
It was fantastic to be back on the road this past week when my wife and I ventured up to New York State and Connecticut to see old friends and visit a couple historically significant tourist attractions. This turned out to be an unusual trip in that we didn’t eat any noteworthy food until itsContinue reading “New York State and Connecticut: Part One”
Schlepping to The Borscht Belt for Pastrami and Corned Beef
It’s been a while since I’ve written about Jewish deli. That’s at least partially because I’ve been allowing my craving for it to build in anticipation of the arrival of a new delicatessen in suburban Bucks County. The Borscht Belt was situated in Stockton, New Jersey, for a couple years, but moved south – intoContinue reading “Schlepping to The Borscht Belt for Pastrami and Corned Beef”
My First Go at Biscuits with Sausage Gravy
Although biscuits with sausage gravy has been a popular breakfast staple in large swaths of the United States for virtually as long as the country has existed, it wasn’t particularly big where I grew up. In fact, I must have been at least well into my thirties before trying it for the first time andContinue reading “My First Go at Biscuits with Sausage Gravy”
Lunch at One of the Country’s Oldest Inns
Sunday was a near-perfect day. So it was a stroke of good luck that my wife and I had plans to meet with old friends for lunch at an ideal spot to take advantage of the beautiful weather. Just a week after visiting Loretta’s Cafe in Bristol, PA, where I tried one of the PhillyContinue reading “Lunch at One of the Country’s Oldest Inns”
Revisiting a Favorite for another Steak and Pie
A select few of the many places I’ve visited for cheesesteaks since starting this blog in 2021 have excelled at both steaks and pizza. One was Joey’s Pizza of Thorndale, PA, which served one of the steaks I placed among the honorable mentions on my Top 10 list last year. But that was overshadowed byContinue reading “Revisiting a Favorite for another Steak and Pie”
