A Cookie Odyssey: The Unparalleled Delight of Moon Rocks Gourmet Cookies | Moon Rocks Gourmet Cookies
Becky Brennan, 12/31/2023

Throughout this year, my path has crossed several times with the delightful Moon Rocks Gourmet Cookies food truck, and each encounter has been nothing short of a culinary delight. The standout feature of these cookies is their exceptional balance in taste and texture. Let's talk flavors. The S'mores, Oatmeal Raisin Walnut, and Chocolate Chip varieties are my personal favorites. Each bite transports you to a world of exquisite tastes, where the classic flavors are elevated to gourmet levels. The S'mores cookies are a campfire dream, the Oatmeal Raisin Walnut offers a delightful nutty twist, and the Chocolate Chip is a timeless classic perfected. The sweetness of these cookies is masterfully balanced. They're just sweet enough to tantalize your taste buds without overwhelming them. The texture is a marvel in itself - perfectly soft yet maintaining a firmness that leaves you satisfied. They're thick and dense, offering a divine, almost indulgent mouthfeel. But perhaps what sets Moon Rocks Gourmet Cookies apart is their uniqueness. There's a certain je ne sais quoi about these cookies that you can't find anywhere else. They've managed to take a familiar comfort food and turn it into a gourmet experience that's both novel and deeply satisfying. If you're looking for a cookie experience that transcends the ordinary, Moon Rocks Gourmet Cookies & Gift Baskets is where your search ends. Their cookies are not just treats; they're a gourmet adventure for the senses.

Whimsical Atmosphere with AWESOME Pub Grub! | The Corner Pug
Becky - The Hometown Explorer, 03/18/2023

I'm not a food critic, so I do my best not to set expectations when I'm checking out a new place. I didn’t know what to expect when going, but I was not disappointed! Recently, I had the pleasure of dining at The Corner Pug, a restaurant that serves American and Irish traditional pub grub in a relaxing atmosphere. The walls are covered in whimsical pictures of pugs, which is honestly freakin’ adorable.. We tried a variety of things during our visit, including the house bread (hey bring this to you when you first get there. I love when restaurants do this!), irish nachos, shepherds pie, pulled pork mac and cheese, and carrot cake. The House bread was very soft inside with a harder crunchy outside, was served with butter. The Irish Nachos were one of my favorite dishes. The crispy wavy kettle chips were smothered in Beef & Sausage Chili, hot cherry peppers, jack-cheddar cheese, scallions, Pico di Gallo, and a side of sour cream. The flavors worked really well together and the dish wasn't too spicy. The shepherds pie was very tasty, but it needed some salting. However, it was still good after I salted it myself. The pulled pork mac and cheese was another highlight of the meal. The super creamy mac and cheese was topped with sweet pulled pork and crispy onion straws, making for a delicious combination. Finally the carrot cake, with three layers of amazingly moist cake with a classic cream cheese frosting. It was loaded with shredded carrots and raisins, and had a caramel sauce drizzle on top. While it was heavy on the spices and quite sweet, it was still a very tasty dessert. Overall, I enjoyed the food at The Corner Pug. While the shepherds pie could have used more salt, the flavors of the other dishes were on point. The presentation of the dishes was also nice. The only issue we had was that the fried onions on the Pulled Pork mac and cheese were originally missed by the kitchen staff, but our server noticed and amended the situation. The service was amazing, with our server being very attentive and taking good care of us. It's always a plus when the staff is friendly and helpful! I would definitely recommend The Corner Pug to others. The atmosphere was great, with pictures of pugs covering the walls, and the food was delicious overall. I'm already planning on going back to try their bar coffees, which I didn't get a chance to try during my first visit. Overall, my experience at The Corner Pug was awesome, and I would rate it 4.5/5 stars.

Review of Business Interaction with Paul Petrillo of Petrillo's Fairs and Festivals | Petrillo'S Fairs & Festivals
Jason Card, 02/19/2024

Our recent business interaction with Paul Petrillo was, regrettably, less than satisfactory. At BISTRO BUDDY, we strive to foster positive, collaborative relationships with event organizers and vendors, aiming to enhance community events and provide valuable marketing opportunities. Our encounter with Mr. Petrillo, however, did not align with these values. Initially, we proposed a partnership to promote Petrillo's Fairs and Festivals through a complimentary promotional video. This gesture was intended as an olive branch and a means to break the ice, hoping to open doors to future collaborations that benefit our shared audience and the event community. As discussions progressed, an opportunity for sponsorship arose. We extended an offer to Mr. Petrillo to collaborate on this sponsorship, hoping to further our partnership and contribute to the success of his events. Unfortunately, the dynamics of our interaction shifted significantly following this development. Despite agreeing to a meeting to discuss the collaboration, the tone and direction of our engagement took a turn that we found to be unprofessional. The initial spirit of mutual benefit and community support was overshadowed by a focus on immediate personal gain. Our commitment to supporting the event community and providing value through our platform is unwavering. However, the encounter with Mr. Petrillo highlighted a divergent set of values. After careful consideration, we decided not to proceed with the promotional video, especially considering the personal sacrifices it would have required from our team. This decision does not come lightly. We are passionate about the event community and remain committed to promoting positive interactions and opportunities within it. Our experience with Petrillo's Fairs and Festivals serves as a reminder of the importance of aligning with partners who share our values of collaboration, respect, and community support. We sincerely hope this review serves as constructive feedback and encourages a reflection on the importance of professional conduct in business interactions. At BISTRO BUDDY, we will continue to advocate for the interests of our community and work towards fostering a positive environment for all involved.

CT Beer Fest 2023: A Journey Through Hops and Happiness

Welcome to the visual diary of the Connecticut Beer Festival 2023, an event that brought together a vibrant tapestry of flavors, fun, and festivity, all under the banner of the Connecticut Brewers Guild. This album is more than just a collection of photographs; it's a story of community, craftsmanship, and celebration, encapsulating a day where the earthy aroma of hops mingled with the melodies of live music and the spirit of Earth Day.

Celebrating Earth Day with Every Sip

As you flip through these pages, you'll notice that this year's festival was not just about savoring the finest brews but also about honoring our planet. Held on Earth Day, the event intertwined environmental consciousness with the joy of beer tasting, reminding us of the delicate balance between indulging in our passions and preserving our world.

65 Breweries, Infinite Flavors Each photograph is a tribute to the 65 breweries that participated, showcasing their unique stories, brewing artistry, and the people behind the pint. From classic lagers to experimental ales, the range of flavors and styles was as diverse as the brewers themselves. These images capture the essence of their craft – the meticulous selection of ingredients, the precise brewing processes, and the shared joy of creating something extraordinary.

Rhythms and Brews: The Soundtrack of the Festival As you delve deeper into this album, you'll feel the pulse of live music that graced the event. Bands and artists, local and beyond, provided the perfect soundtrack to the festival, creating an atmosphere that was both electrifying and intimate. Each photo echoes the chords and melodies that filled the air, adding an auditory dimension to this visual journey.

? A Community United by Beer ?

Beyond the beers and the bands, these images capture the heart of the festival – the people. From enthusiasts and connoisseurs to curious first-timers, the festival was a melting pot of individuals united by their love for good beer. Smiling faces, clinking glasses, and animated conversations fill these pages, a testament to the community spirit that the Connecticut Brewers Guild fosters.

Memories Preserved ?

As you reach the end of this album, we hope that the memories of CT Beer Fest 2023 linger on. Whether you were a participant, a brewer, or just an admirer of the craft beer community, these photographs are a gateway back to those moments of joy, discovery, and unity. Until the next pour at CT Beer Fest 2024, let's raise a glass to the memories made and the friendships forged.

Cheers to the Connecticut Brewers Guild, to Earth Day, and to the timeless art of brewing!
