Fairfield County stakes a claim to some of Connecticut's most diverse
terrain, an enviable proximity to New York City, and a discerning
community of food lovers driving the demand for a vibrant dining scene.
The Gold Coast boasts some of the country's toniest neighborhoods, such
as Greenwich and Southport, as well as the state's largest cities,
including the historic port city of Norwalk, the corporate-minded
Stamford, and the diverse Bridgeport. Fine dining, dense downtown dining
districts, and neighborhood bodegas are equally at home along this dense
and diverse corridor. Along Fairfield County's suburban center are such
towns as Ridgefield, New Canaan, and Westport, whose historic Main
Streets and cultural landmarks draw a family-oriented population. As a
result, reclaimed taverns, farmers' markets, and upscale dining
districts scattered with family-friendly options abound. At the
landlocked northern fringes, quiet enclaves such as Easton, Wilton, and
Newtown have large swaths of protected and undeveloped land, as well as
bountiful farmland and a handful of farm-to-table restaurants.With
recipes for the home cook from over fifty of the area's most celebrated
restaurants and showcasing over 200 full-color photos featuring
mouth-watering dishes, famous chefs, and lots of local flavor, Fairfield
County Chef's Table is the ultimate gift and keepsake cookbook for both
tourists and locals.
