TODAY WILL BE DEDICATED TO MENUS, NOT RECIPES.
I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY LAST EVENING TO JOIN A FEW FRIENDS FOR A BIRTHDAY AT BRICCO TRATTORIA IN GLASTONBURY, CT.
FROM START TO FINISH ONE OF THE FINEST MEALS I HAVE EVER ENJOYED.
I FOUND INSPIRATION FROM THE MENU AND YOU MAY ALSO.
THANK YOU BILLY GRANT!!
