CTbites Lunch @ Wild Rice Recap
Yesterday's CTbites reader-appreciation lunch event, in conjunction with SuzySaid, saw a terrific turnout. More than 60 readers reserved spots at Wild Rice in Fairfield, lured by the promise of good food and good company. As advertised, the bargain Bento boxes and sushi specials were tasty steals, most under $10. The wine at $2 a glass was a good deal, too. Colorful plates of fresh sushi, sashimi and spicy Asian specialties flew by, groups of girlfriends re-connected after the holidays and a fine time was had by all.
Rumor has it our editor is working on a lunch date in March at the Dressing Room in Westport. This will be modeled after our first reader-appreciation lunch in December at Café Lola, where the chef wowed guests with a custom-designed three-course French meal. Everyone felt like they were part of something unique to CTbites fans, and we're going to make sure to bring this feeling back in our next event.
We'll keep you posted on our upcoming lunches, and we look forward to meeting you in person to learn about your favorite local haunts and places you’d like us to cover in the New Year. See you soon!

I am confused, I went to Wild Rice with my daughter and did not know how to connect with others from ct bites. Didi I miss something? Is there a time when everyone met or was it random? Would love to know more about how this works. I asked a few times and couldn't find others.
thanks
You are correct Sue. Wild Rice was a bit disconnected as I was MIA covering "Play With Your Food" in Westport. Our next lunch with have the cohesion we had at our first event at Cafe Lola. More on that soon. We look forward to meeting you.
