On a recent trip through Connecticut, we stopped for a late dinner at Louis Lunch in New Haven. Established in 1895, it is one of the oldest restaurants in the United States, just a tiny unassuming shack in the middle of a college town. They also claim to have invented the hamburger sandwich! The guys behind the counter were amazing, the potato salad (a special for the day) was some of the best I've ever had, and the burgers are cooked in a very cool, very old vertical broiler. There are no condiments, only onions, tomatoes, cheese spread, and ham to top your burger which is served on toasted white bread. Well worth the trip, but definitely call ahead as they can close for holidays, vacations, construction, etc. (We've tried to go before...) And if you are ever looking for food along the road in any part of the country, go to roadfood.com. I love them.
