Carson's Keeping the Old and in with the New
|
Landscaper Dave Blacker was passionate about the turquoise, cream, and chromed enclave and purchased the business in the late 1970's when it became available. Although Blacker raises bees and enjoys cheese making, he prefers to cultivate his landscaping and plowing business while hiring out management to oversee Carson's. Lunch Fisher Island
Son and current manager Andrew Blacker recall the condition of the building in the 70's: ''The building was not sitting on a foundation. It was a little shop that needed a lot of work. We sold only sandwiches, newspaper and penny candy and in 2000 added a kitchen.''
Blacker, 2008 Fitch graduate, grew up within a few houses of Carson's and as a child always looked forward to Fridays - reserved for a long-awaited sweet of his choice. The genuine, salt-of-the-earth and smiley Blacker began working in Carson's at age 12.
Now with the help of his brother, farmer Kevin Blacker, Andrew Blacker is coming up with fresh new ideas in addition to the traditional comforts Carson's offers. Birthday Room Rental Groton CT
The Blacker brothers, Kevin with a degree in soil science and Andrew working toward a degree in natural resources, are working toward eventually raising and using all local, grass-fed beef for the restaurant. In addition, Andrew Blacker is focusing on using as much local produce and sprucing up the breakfast, lunch and to go menus.
The Blackers are making changes but keeping what works, such as Carson's version of a P.O. box for a variety of newspapers. Noank locals can expect a paper of their choosing in their personal box at Carson's daily. And, of course, the tradition of ice cream and penny candy will remain. Best Dinners Noank CT
Carson's is ideal for a quick scenic stint and even more ideal for locals and celebrities who enjoy the town's unique anonymity.
