For those visiting Bridgeport who have already sampled the city's fare or those who are residents of the city and beyond looking for a short trip for a new culinary experience, here's the latest edition of WBOY's Restaurant Road Trip. And this one features a new restaurant a little bit north of the city on Interstate 79 whose owner has a pretty unique tie to the city.
If you are looking for a new restaurant in the area to expand your culinary experience, WBOY has the place for you. Read the start of the story below.
This stop on the Restaurant Road Trip took us to a bakery that just opened on Adams Street in Fairmont, but already has customers lining up out the door.
The owner said got her start at the Bridgeport Farmers Market, where her baked goods became in high demand.
"Whether I know them by name, or it's the first time they've walked in, I want everyone to feel like they've just come into my home and feel comfortable and relaxed and hang out and feel like they've just come home themselves," said Emily Lewis, owner of the Little Red Hen Bakery.
Lewis is making it her priority to bring hospitality to the community of Fairmont and surrounding areas, whether it's through the variety of homemade baked goods, or the rustic decor that she says brings character to the space.
"It's a reflection of my personality and I've been all over the world. I know that I'm no spring chicken myself, and so, I'm a little worn out in places, but I'm functional. We wanted to use things that still had life left in them but maybe they've seen. They started out beautiful, but they've aged and they have patina, and I wanted that patina to show through," said Lewis.
