Easter Brunch in Wallingford

Every spring, our dining room table is cluttered with Easter baskets, boxes of stale Peeps, plastic eggs, and chocolate rabbits.  Oddly enough, though, I never really questioned the correlation between Easter and rabbits.

Given the restaurant's open kitchen floor plan, the 26 square foot mosaic will be seen by anyone sitting at the bar or dining at a table facing the kitchen in the Golden Beetle. I met with Christina Vaule--one of the four women in…
