Tall colorful banners and bright national flags ripple in the breeze above a column of trucks as customers line up along the sidewalk. It looks like a fiesta on Long Wharf Drive. But it’s only lunch. (more…)

State of the Carts
The last time Daily Nutmeg visited the food trucks at the corner of Prospect and Sachem Streets, in 2014, they were located in the parking lot at Ingalls Rink. But the times, they are a changin’, and the carts are now arrayed again as they were in years past, along both sides of Sachem. What’s […]
Cookies ’n’ Dream
The aroma of fresh-baked cookies, brownies and other goodies envelops you as soon as you cross the threshold of Robin Schaffer’s Woodbridge home. Sweet scents of brown sugar and chocolate mingle, (more…)

The guy behind […]
Burgers Flipped
A tall thin woman, wearing a white chef’s hat emblazoned with her nickname, beckons from a big white truck parked on York Street between Chapel and Elm. She’s offering free samples of her delectable “Blazin’ Burgers with all the fixin’s.” She says she just read in a local magazine how some restaurant or other has […]
Dairy Tale
The scientific principles that apply to the process of gently heating two pieces of bread coated in butter and filled with cheese seem so simplistic when compared to the emotional response that this process produces. Glorious grilled cheese. Is it the nostalgia associated with memories of childhood or the simple yet filling ingredients that make […]
Tacos With A View
There are 12 spots for 12 trucks on two thin, unassuming strips of asphalt and splotchy grass on Long Wharf Drive, one in either direction after you take exit 46 off I-95 northbound. They’re easy to miss, tucked between New Haven’s sorely under-enjoyed waterfront and the ever busy I-95, but hop off the highway for […]
