  • We are going to be spending the next couple of days in the state of Connecticut! We will be trying iconic foods like grinder sandwiches, apizza, and steamed hamburgers. We also visit the historic Louis Lunch to try what they claim the be the world's first hamburger sandwich. We visit two dairy farms for ice cream and cow breaks and finish it all off with a lobster roll from the famous Abbot's Lobster on the Rough!

    Making me homesick. Been in Baltimore for almost two years and I never realized how amazing my home state's food culture was. Also my family owns Rich's Farms Ice Cream in Oxford, CT. Worth a trip if you're ever up there again!

    And Milford Connecticut is the Home of the Hot Butter Lobster Roll invented in 1929 at a place called Perry's. It closed in 1977 but the 7 Seas is the king when it comes to the original hot butter Lobster Roll for almost 60 years

    As a Connecticutter, even I'm new to these spots. ( granted I never lived or travelled to Danbury ) But I'm no stranger to grinders. They're our tradition after all.

    when you had the Pepe's Pizza, you should have had it from the one around the corner from Louis Lunch. The New Haven one (the original Pepe's)taste different than the franchise one you went to

    I'm so excited to see you guys in my state! I look forward to seeing your opinion of Mystic. It's one of our favorite places to go. There are so many hidden gems here and I don't know if you guys ventured to Lyman Orchards but that's a beautiful area. You can pick fruits that are in season and the orchard is 275 years old with beautiful grounds and a cute market with the yummiest apple cider doughnuts (more like munchkins) that I've ever had! I hope you enjoyed your time here in CT.

    Please, please, PLEASE visit Litchfield if you get the chance. Bohemian Pizza, @ the Corner, and Arethusa Farm Dairy just over the town line in Bantam. Also - for a local grinder shop, Salerno Import and Deli in Torrington. All of these spots are in the northwest corner. West Shore Seafood in Bantam is a beautiful walk up / outdoor location as well!! If you’ve already left the state, the northwest corner would be a beautiful location to check out for an autumn themed travel video! 😊

    Although Nardelli’s is a chain they are all individually owned and quite frankly my favorite place to get a grinder

    Oh yeah Nardelli’s is awesome and should be a more recognized chain in Connecticut rather than Duchess.

    Go to wallingford ct go to rose's deli on rt 5. Or vinny's deli the king of roast beef. If you are looking for good burgers. I have a list while in ct. Gold burger in newington ,Teds steam burger or Klamay"s steam burger, Harry's in colchester is great. Shady glen on rt 44. Has that that old timey feel with a very unique burger. Just check them out it's an experience.

    To get the true taste should have eaten it in the restaurant out of the oven…. On Wooster St New Haven original restaurant.. plain tomato with grated cheese the best

    you have to eat it there. If its in the box to long it will steam the pizza. Also way to many toppings on a NH pizza

    Normal people in Connecticut call it pizza. Modern Pizza is the best better than Frank Pepe.
