"Pat's famous clam hash. It has an ocean smack cushioned by plenty of potatoes, making it a surprisingly wonderful breakfast for all but the intransigent clamphobe."

"For many years, the readers of Connecticut have named Pat's Kountry Kitchen their favorite family-style restaurant in the state."

"A photo taken of Pat's enormous coffee-cup-shaped planter on the last day of winter, 2003. In a short while, the cup will runneth over with spring flowers."
