I can never eat more than a few bites of a big, diner-style pancake

Maybe it’s for another thread, but I vastly prefer smaller pancakes to dinner plate sized pancakes.
 
New restaurant opened in East Hampton during the COVID "shutdown" called Sweet Jeans Cafe. Pretty quality BEC for a good price.

Garden Catering's 'Hotsy' named Best Breakfast Sandwich in America

GREENWICH — The fandom for one of Garden Catering’s signature items, the “Hotsy,”...

This guy was a legend. Worked the graveyard shift at Garden Catering. I grew up right near the OG Garden Catering and visiting him frequently during some late nights/early mornings. Class act.

One story I'll always remember: my friends and I were walking the streets of Old Greenwich and noticed the lights were on at Garden Catering. Walking up to the door, Hotsy was working the pots and burners solo, but the door was locked. Knocking on the door, we asked if we could come in early. At first, he politely declined but after some fun pleading from us, he gruffly smiled unlocked the door and he led in five wily college kids at 3 AM. Once the door opened, we started a gradually crescendoing chant: "Hotsy, Hotsy Hotsy". The normally tough guy couldn't help but crack a smile.

Here's what you should do this Sunday. Drive down to Old Greenwich's Garden Catering, order a Hotsy and then spend your morning/afternoon at Tod's Point. Greenwich's town beach opens to the public starting November 1st and already planned my morning coffee/hotsy/beach walk for Sunday morning.

The Old Mystic Country Store makes a great breakfast sandwich. It's about a mile off route 95 exit 90 but well worth the short detour.

I'm trying to think of the other offshoots of Garden Catering there are. I know Reddi Rooster in Stamford off high ridge was one, I think. Chicken Joe's also in Greenwich in Cos Cob was the big one. They may have a few more locations. I always really liked the chili at Hubba's in Port Chester which also used to be in Stamford downtown probably 15 years ago before become Capprichio Cafe. I dont think they ever did breakfast sandwiches but they did a great Texas burger which was just adding chili and onions to it.

I was just planning this and was bummed to discover that, as of today, they have extended the ban on out-of-towners to November 30th, meaning that it is still residents only until then.

Bummer.

Chicken Joe is not associated with Garden Catering. Joe ran Vinny's Pizza in PC with his brother Ricky for many years. Open until 5 am on weekend for a slice after Marty's, 7 Willow Street or The Beat.

It's not anymore, Chicken Joe's was Garden Catering until there was some riff and a lawsuit. Their menu's are virtually identical minus the name changes. Looks like Wally's Chicken in Storrs was the Garden Catering owners son trying to open the place in Storrs.

Thanks for sharing. Better to be disappointed now than disappointed at the gates of the beach. I'll still head down to get a Hotsy.

On that note @8893, pick up a Hotsy and then go to the Mianus River Park. Or, Binney Park nearby is a totally decent small park.

Ever been there? I have not. It looks like they are not open for breakfast and have no breakfast sandwich menu, so I don't know how they could be participating in this tomorrow. I may need to do some recon at lunch today.

I can't believe you are wasting your time in the BEC thread when Inspire is in negotiations to acquire Dunkin :cool:
