From Fairfield to Norwalk, this week’s meals were full of flavor and celebration. We revisited old favorites like A’Vuchella, discovered new spots like Cosetta, and ended the week with an unforgettable birthday brunch at Elm in New Canaan. Between smoky salmon, pasta nights, and burgers by the bar, this “What I Ate This Week” entry proves that life—and food—always taste better shared.
