Phew, we can all breathe a sigh of relief as football season is finally back and in full swing and with that comes anxiety, heart palpitations, and, oh yeah, WINGS! Connecticut might be a small state but man oh man, do our local restaurants know how to represent when it comes to great barbeque and deliciously elevated pub food. Listen, not everyone is a sports fan (which maybe you should reevaluate), but you don’t have to be a fan to enjoy all the chicken wing options that CT has to offer.
In various rankings online, stuffing generally comes in first place on the Top 10 list of Thanksgiving foods. I personally cannot argue with that for one hot second. Desserts such as pumpkin or chocolate pie have hovered around 5th or 6th place, respectively, wistfully lagging behind mac and cheese and mashed potatoes but ahead of the love-it-or-hate it green bean casserole.
It might be hard to believe with such an unseasonably warm start to November, but Thanksgiving is right around the corner! And that can only mean one thing: it’s pie time. Once again this year, there are dozens of restaurants, markets, farms, and other businesses across the state offering a variety of pies to preorder and have ready to add to your holiday table. Whether you are keeping things simple with a traditional pumpkin or apple pie to compliment your turkey dinner, or you want to mix things up with unique flavors and ingredients, there are desserts on this list for just about every palate. Happy Thanksgiving!
