Best Sandwich

[Tyler2Rings]

You can't go wrong with a Chicken cutlet at Wethersfield Pizzahouse or the House special at Italian Gourmet in Newington

Brueggers Western for breakfast and Salmon for lunch both on baggels.

Second the Chicken Cutlet at Wethersfield Pizza House

Best of both worlds here, I will try this bad boy at Modern's in New Haven and revert:

i’m telling you.. crime fronts make the best damn food

When I lived in Miami there was a pizza place that had probably the best pizza in the area (not saying much). I heard numerous rumors that the pizza place was a front for the weed business being run out of the same place. Never confirmed the rumors but also have no reason to believe it to not be true, based on who I heard it from.

I think Fairfield county just obliterates Hartford in the deli game, have probably been to 15 delis in fairfield county better than any I have been to in Hartford. I feel like if gaetanos or rinaldis opened up in downtown west hartford they could do a great business

The al pastor torta at Las Tortas MX in the Parkville Market in Hartford is the best thing I’ve eaten in a while. The market is a beautiful place with an amazing variety of good stuff.

Claudia’s in Farmington makes a fantastic Italian and chicken parm/cutlet. They’re pricy but huge, a half grinder could feed you twice easily.

Alright, on a quest to find the best sandwich or Deli in Hartford county or the rest of the state.

My go to used to be a small deli in Stamford called Fusaros or, of course, Gaetano’s, but looking for something around Hartford now.

What do y’all got?

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.

One of Buffalo's best pizza joints is pretty widely recognized as Mafia owned. And you get that sense when you stroll in there on the West Side.

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

If you’re looking for italian grinder, Angelo’s on West Main in New Britain is probably the best in the state. I always do prosciutto di parma, mortadella and hot soopressata on a portigeuse roll with provolone , oil, and all the veggies.

I’m Sicilian and I cannot stand mortadell. Love me some soppressah tho.

Agree 100% and New Haven crushes Hartford area as well.

Franklin Giant in Hartford. But I moved 7 years ago and not so sure today.

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.

Strangely, the tuna salad grinder at some skating rink place in (near?) Windsor was good enough to always go for if we were in the area.

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.

Growing up in a Jamaican neighborhood in Philly, i'll say a Jamaican beef pattie between 2 pieces of Coco bread. Simple but good.

Fusaro’s is good. But put me in the team for Rinaldi’s on East Main Street.

It’s been a while since I was there but there Corner Deli in Hamden used to be a weekly thing for me

 

[Rocktheworld]

No. But a torta is.

Love Alton Brown

Cutthroat kitchen is the most underrated cooking show

 

[WrenchFan69]

Kovac's Special from Gaetano's is the best sandwich I've ever had.
Also great:
Cornerstone in Hartford - chicken cutlets are elite and very cheap
D'elia's in Norwich - baking really wonderful bread daily, run by a single family, can get really busy
Vocatura's in Norwich - old school Italian bakery/deli

 

[Hankster]

C'mon, this was discussed in 2013.

OT- Best deli in CT.

A lot of good italian deli's in the state.

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

Is this on the same line is The Best Pizza in CT? Has it made the 1 million view mark yet?

 

[Rocktheworld]

Since a burger must count, I’ll definitely be reporting on Osa in Middletown. Been getting a ton of hype lately.

BrgrKo in Hamden, formerly Texico, formerly Mikro has great sandwiches/burgers and a solid cocktail program going. Totally out of place for the area lol
