Part 2 with Steph Webster .ctbites , founder of CTbites 🎤
We asked her for the spots she actually keeps to herself — and she gave them up. Just 3 places someone who’s eaten everywhere in CT genuinely loves:
1️⃣ Don Roque Garage (Bridgeport) — Family-owned, and they make their salsas and tortillas completely in-house. The brunch is the move.
2️⃣ Tacos 203 (SONO) — Real street tacos tucked right by the Metro North station. Whatever you do, get the al pastor off the spit. .203
3️⃣ Little Lotus (New Haven) — A 17-course omakase for $125. The fish is pristine, and owner Larry’s hospitality genuinely makes the night.

John Turiano, former Editor-in-Chief of Westchester Magazine, spent years critiquing the local food scene. Now, you can access his exclusive ‘Best of the Best’ guide—only on GrubTok.

His criteria? To make the cut, a restaurant has to hit the perfect trifecta: 1️⃣ Food 2️⃣ Service 3️⃣ Atmosphere

Westchester’s food scene is incredible right now, so narrowing this down was no easy task. But after decades of reviewing, John made the tough calls to pick the absolute standouts across 16 categories.

Maximum 3 winners per category. No fluff, just the spots that truly deliver.
