After a few years in which Fairfield ate our lunch, Westport is back atop the dining scene.
We’ve long been a restaurant town. Old-timers drool over legendary spots like the Arrow, Mario’s and Chez Pierre.
Even older old-timers remember spots like La Normandie and the Townly.
But I’ve never heard anyone mention The Five Little Pigs.
Paul Ehrismann posted this photo the other day, on Facebook:
I assume it’s a restaurant. With a name like that, what else could it be? Certainly not a butcher shop.
Taking a wild stab, this looks like the section of the Post Road where Cycle Dynamics is now, near Carvel. (I’m guessing “a mile east of Westport, Ct.,” refers to downtown.)
But I really have no clue.
If any real old-time Westporter has ever heard of The Five Little Pigs, please click “Comments” below.
I hope we find out soon. Not when pigs fly.
