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
Everything there is awesome. I'm a huge fan of the Roast Beef Grinder there as well, but the Chicken Cutlet as mentioned above is on a pedestal all by itself.
That's just not possible. Just buy some this sliced chicken breast like Perdue Fit and Easy. Its all trimmed and ready to go. Put the chicken in a plastic bag, pound it with a tenderizer, ice cream scooper, rolling pin etc. Beat a couple eggs and add salt and pepper, dip the chicken in it then dip it in Italian bread crumbs. Heat a frying pan with oil (I like avocado oil, it doesn't burn). Put a lot of oil, like an inch deep. Heat the oil to 360 degrees then gently place the cutlets in it and cook 4 minutes or so then flip and cook for another 5 minutes.
Yeah. I lived off of High Ridge about 15 years ago near Bull's Head and used to hit Fusaro's whenever I wanted a meatball or chicken parm sandwich (once a weekish). It's a very family-owned Italian deli experience. I still stop there when I'm in Stamford. My Naples, IT born father-in-law made a comment about their food, and it kind of ruined it for me. I won't share it so as to not ruin it for others, but he was right. Still, I like it.
Also Italian-American who couldn't stand mortadell, at least what they sell here. Had something that looked very similar (with a different name) in Rome a few years back and it was incredible.
I remember K's from more than 40 years ago. Never stopped in, just was a reference for a buddy who lived on the street off High Ridge near it.
I go to Cornerstone about once or twice a month. They make a decent chicken cutlet and you get a LOADED 8" grinder for about $10. As far as flavor goes, it's pretty basic breading. For an amazing flavorful chicken cutlet, try the Italian Gourmet Deli on Hartford Ave. in Newington.
I picked up a couple grinders there last fall and the beef cutlet is still ridiculously good and big enough to sink a small boat. I was there late afternoon on a Saturday and the line was about 10 people deep.
Yeah. Not to mention that their beer, even when fresh, sucks pretty bad
Thimble and Stony Creek… two of the worst breweries not only in CT, but all of New England.
Enlighten me on Stony Creek
I never gave Fusaro's a chance. My uncle lived on Nichols and that was the go-to deli for his family. But I hated him and everything associated with him ;-)
Stony Creek’s beer is, at best, just fine. Miles better than Thimble in my opinion. And I drank a looooot of Thimble beer when I worked there. Poured even more down the drain when they did me dirty.
