We spent the afternoon in Westport and boy did we eat!
Started at The Whelk with Happy Hour. Amazing day to be outside. Oysters, shrimp,ginger beer, steamed clams with bacon...so good! The steamed clams are amazing, the broth is addicting- we even dunk our fries in it. The ginger beer is so fun. Great vibe and great happy hour deals.
You can't hang in Westport and not go to Donut Crazy! My all time favorite donut: Maple bacon donut. It's delicious. The contrast of sweet and salty is amazing and the "crunch" you get makes me want to dip bacon in maple icing. I would love to try this warm. They have this coconut donut that reminded us of our grandparents- every time we slept at their house we would walk to a donut coffee shop for breakfast. The truck was there so we goofed around. We didn't even make it to the car with the donuts. We sat on the side of the tracks and dug in.
After driving around we made our way to dinner at Tarrylodge. I was in charge of ordering because I have been there a couple of times and had my favorites I wanted them to try. The pistachio, red onion pizza with goat cheese and honey truffle is amazing! Really wouldn't think of this combo ever but really delicious and fun. Then we had their mushroom pasta- rich and so full of flavor. We had to add some greens so went with the salad with walnuts, cranberries and Gorgonzola. So refreshing.
See I told you we ate well! Lots of laughs, great vibes and happy bellies. Made a perfect afternoon/night with my two favorite ladies-my sisters, my rock, my cheerleading team!
