Boo! - Chili Chicken and Spazzio are gone.
YAY!! - October is wild game month at Rodizio Grill! Specific game is TBA, though I'm hoping to eat a meal that would make Ron Swanson proud.
Boo? - Saltwater Grille is beyond gone.
Yay! - There's an Egyptian festival on Sept. 22-23 with food, music, vendors, and more!
Boo! - Port Chester is getting a Whole Foods. I'm not booing their good fortune, but once New Canaan gets a Whole Foods, then every town near Stamford will have one. Thanks to the whiners who helped kill the proposed store at Bull's Head, I have to go to Darien to buy organic, non-GMO, humanely-raised, grass-fed, cage-free oatmeal.
Yay! (not food-related, but still cool) - Speaking of Port Chester, the historic Capitol Theatre has been renovated and has re-opened its doors as a rock palace! They have some seriously awesome acts coming to the P.C., so check it out.
Yay? - Trader Joe's is coming to the old Borders store on High Ridge Road. I know a lot of people are excited about this, but I'll wait and see. I went to the Darien store a few times, and each time, I found something moldy or stale among my purchases once I got home.
Superboo!! - There's nowhere to buy fudge in Stamford. There's a little candy store in my hometown of Northport, New York, where you can buy rock candy, fruit slices, Lemonheads, Big League Chew, and big honkin' pieces of fresh fudge. I want this in Stamford!! If elected mayor, I pledge to bring in a candy store, a cheese shop, and a bakery.
SUPER DUPER MEGA YAY!! - Oktoberfest finally comes to Stamford! Dust off your lederhosen for the Stamford Museum & Nature Center's Octoberfest on the Meadow on Friday, October 19. It'll feature food, Oktoberfest beers, and live music. If elected mayor, I also pledge to bring a German-style bierhall to Stamford! Prost!

Double yay to the Trader Joe's news for me, because I live right next door.
As for the Chili Chicken space, I work within walking distance and would really like to see a nice, basic deli / sandwich shop go in there...seems to be what's really missing in Bulls Head. Cafe Oh La La is too upscale (and expensive) and Subway is a chain.
Tappo on bank st is gone too. Another restaurant is moving into it's place.
Stew Leonards may have freshly made fudge, or they did. Not a particular fan of any fudge, it's always way too sweet. I suspect it's best enjoyed by people whose taste buds have died off somewhat.
To Anon 9/20:
It's not literally in Bulls Head, but a very short walk from there down Summer St. will get you to Panini Deli, right next between a convenience store and pizza place.
clearly you sir do not like pizza. people want something new and papa john is a great example. not often you see a famous restaurant in Stamford like that plus they serve fresh pizza with fresh ingredients which makes their pizza taste great not to mention awesome deals and low prices on items.
