Did not expect to see Fusaro’s show up on the Yard. I live a quarter mile away between Pepper Ridge and High Ridge. Have been going there since I was a kid in the ‘70s, when it was known as K’s Market, and it was my source for sparklers, baseball cards, Jolly Rancher sticks, cans of Sunkist soda and Fun Dip.
When I was a rep for a a CT brewery a few years ago lower Fairfield was my territory and I swear I stopped by Fusaro’s twice a week for lunch. Great guys and an even better sandwich
I’m Sicilian and I cannot stand mortadell. Love me some soppressah tho.
Agree 100% and New Haven crushes Hartford area as well.
Put myself through school as a land surveyor, so I was all over the state and always looking for a good lunch. When we went to town halls to search property records for each job, finding out about the best places to eat was a priority. Meatball at Franklin Giant was the top for me. But that was a lot more than 7 years ago.
Cost Less Wine & Liquor on High Ridge must have been one of your accounts. Solid craft beer selection.
Not a Marathon Bar kinda guy?
I bought a bunch of good, highly allocated wine from them. But this was 20 years ago. Zach (I'm pretty sure that was his name) was always a pleasure to hang and chat with and would hook his customers up with hard to get stuff whenever he could. Always greeted you with a big smile. Seemed like a great family.
Fusaro’s is good. But put me in the team for Rinaldi’s on East Main Street.
Is this on the same line is The Best Pizza in CT? Has it made the 1 million view mark yet?C'mon, this was discussed in 2013.
And in 2020.
OT: - Best BLT Sandwich In CT?
Every Thanksgiving weekend our family always wakes up on Black Friday and has BLTs. It got me thinking- where do you go in CT that has a killer Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato Sandwich? I’m asking for rec’s in CT- but the best one I have ever had was in Chapel Hill, NC at Merritts Grill...
And in 2021.
Best Sandwich in Connecticut
Best sandwich in Connecticut. Lobster roll at Abbots Lobster in the Rough, Mystic? Discuss among yourselves. https://www.foodandwine.com/travel/restaurants/best-sandwich-america-every-state?utm_source=pocket-newtab
Clicked to post about that Chicken Cutlet...
Wethersfield pizza has the absolute best chicken cutlet grinder and nothing else comes close. A family friend comes down to Florida every Christmas and always brings 6 chicken cutlet and 6 meatball subs and we have amazing food for a week.
Gaetanos steak and cheese with onions is great.
They actually refused to carry us. I wasn’t gonna name names but I worked for Thimble Island and they had a pretty bad reputation. Lots of folks didn’t want to touch their product. Lots of shady stuff, like putting new dates on old beer. I don’t know if things have changed since they’ve signed with a distributor, but I’d caution folks not to touch their stuff.
Kovac is my go to there, but I have them use long hots instead of cherry peppers. It’s a perfect sandwich.
Yup. I’m deep in the craft beer scene. Have seen it all and heard it all. Not just Thimble Island. A few other breweries across the state.
i suppose i have to find my way there
