Popular Radio Personality and Foodie has Branford Book Event Wed.

BRANFORD, CT - A book written by a self-described “lifelong foodie” who is best known as a local radio personality with two decades in the business, will be the subject of a book signing event from 6-8 p.m. Wednesday night at Home Restaurant.

The author, well known radio personality Vinnie Penn, will also auction off a copy of his book Route One. Food Run to benefit Branford’s Blackstone Library.

Additionally, Vinnie gives a "Soundtrack Suggestion" for every spot you choose to Road Trip to in the book.

Reviewers say this about the book:

“A rollicking, fast-paced tour of the best quick, indulgent, greasy, messy, delectable, and can’t miss eats along (or not far from) Route One from Connecticut to Maine (along the 1-95 corridor).

“Written with acerbic wit, comedian and talk show host Vinnie Penn takes you to his favorite road trip eateries and even works his magic to persuade these places to bring some of his favorite recipes home to you. Vinnie visits over 100 places, gathers nearly 100 recipes, and packs it all alongside amusing sidebars, can’t miss local roadside attractions and oddities, and hundreds of photos.”
