Gold Mine May 2021: Two60 Kitchen and Bar continues to please customers
FAIRFIELD Molly Tou took a chance opening Two60 Kitchen and Bar in June 2020 near the start of the pandemic, but her risk continues to pay off.
“It’s a great location and we get great foot traffic,” Tou said of her site at 260 Pittman Road.
The name of the restaurant is a play on her name – Tou – and the physical address of the eatery.
Tou is not new to the food business. She owned Sticky Rice Chinese Bistro and Bar in Fairfield from 2006 to 2017, when she “retired” for a time.
The Journal has lost a longtime contributor. Journalism has lost a trailblazer. And I have lost a friend.
Ellen Brown, who penned The Journal s Cost-Buster Cooking column for seven years, died unexpectedly Jan. 14 after a surgical procedure.
The first story I wrote about her appeared in 2009 with a headline, not written by me, that called her a seasoned writer and chef.
But I always thought of Ellen as saucy. And indefatigable.
At my last count, she had penned 43 cookbooks. Can you imagine? They covered everything from how to make ice cream, something she taught me to do, to one-pot cooking and even gluten-free baking.

why don t we do a celebration of the region called california? so i wrote the menu, the california regional dinner. that was all in english, which was the first time. and we did california wines, which was the first time that we had focused on those completely and put on the dinner. jean-pierre: it was all local ingredients. i mean, it was starting to name the farm, starting to name the famers, and also using everything we could find. jeremiah: and the press jumped all over it and the wine spectator said that, this was the match that started the fire of the revolution that then occurred in america called, you know, the new american cuisine. mario: the first thing they did is celebrate local ingredients. that was, above all, the most important thing is to say, listen, our scallops are better than the scallops in france. our oysters are at least as interesting as the oysters from wherever in france.
