A late entry for 2018…
My buddy Jim Fregeau, my trusty companion Marvelous Marvin and I stopped at the legendary Connecticut establishment, Guida’s in Middlefield. Guida’s opened in 1946 and is well -known for their famous 10-inch-long hotdog on a grilled bun. The restaurant has a nice counter with red vinyl stools and about ten tables.
Jim had two doggies, much to Marvin’s dismay, and a vanilla milkshake, while I went for a chocolate shake. Guida’s serves Gifford’s ice cream, a very nice, rich- tasting commercial product. They have a small ice cream bar with all the basic flavors, but it is well equipped and they weigh the ice cream going into a shake, the first time I have encountered this technique anywhere.
Both shakes were very good, rich tasting with a granular, icy texture. They were thick and very satisfying! I highly recommend Guida’s if traveling through Middlefield for a taste of nostalgia and rich creamy ice cream.
Happy Thanksgiving all!
The Connecticut Ice Cream Quest 
The noble quest continues and going further afield. Perhaps a foray to the Great North soon?
