• Fundraiser Launched To Support CT Restaurant That Inspired 'Gilmore Girls' Diner (patch.com) — Woodbury residents are rallying around Rachel's Kitchen, the local restaurant recently certified as the real-life inspiration for Gilmore Girls' Luke's Diner, after equipment failures forced a temporary closure. A GoFundMe has already raised nearly $2,000 toward costly exhaust and cooler replacements, while the eatery plans limited weekend hours to keep serving breakfast and lunch as repairs are arranged.
