Back Yard Melting Pot

Danbury Connecticut and all which comes to mind when we think of our great city. The fantastic concerts on the green, a thriving night life,Candle wood Lake(of course,) and the thousands of ethnically diverse citizens who reside here, bringing with them dozens of their rich and incredibly unique cultures. And you know what that means, right?

                                        FOOD

The key to any one's heart, and the far- from- forgotten link that connects the modern world of today with our ancient, cultural origins.


Grandma's recipes, passed down, that were  once enjoyed while sitting upon pillows on the floor, asado cooked to perfection over an open fire with a sip of corn whisky to chase it down, a warm lemongrass soup to take you away from the overwhelming bustle of a Vietnamese street market, all may seem like nostalgic events, unachievable in a more recent time. But looking no further than our back yard, we find restaurants that hold true to their traditions and bring us back in the best way possible; through our taste buds.


From Asian Indian to Ecuadorian to Peruvian there are a variety of eateries, many of them right around the corner, which serve up traditionally prepared delicacies. Within this blog we will strive to try them all shedding light on this all too hidden sector of our society, the Ethnic Eats of Danbury.
