This Dish Served At A CT Restaurant Is Among America's Top 23, NY Times Says

NEW HAVEN, CT — The New York Times has scoured the country looking for the best dishes around and came up with "23 of the Best American Dishes of 2023."

Brian Gallagher of the Times wrote: "Some are high-concept — a Dungeness crab doughnut, for instance — while others are just perfect examples of beloved familiars like brisket tacos or fried chicken. What they have in common, though, is that months later they still jump to mind when we're asked, 'What were your favorite dishes of this year?'"

One of those outstanding dishes happens to be served at a Connecticut restaurant.

The fried chicken at Tavern on State in New Haven made the list.

Here's what the Times' Julia Moskin had to say about it: "I will always order the fried chicken at a promising new restaurant like this one. Its fried chicken thighs with green tomato relish and radish salad was the best of many dishes I loved this year in the growing 'tavern' category — a much-needed bridge between pub grub and tweezer food."

Tavern on State posted on Instagram celebrating landing on the prestigious list: "We are so excited and honored to have been mentioned on the @nytimes list of the top 23 American dishes of 2023!!!! It’s amazing to have something as humble as fried chicken take the limelight. We pride ourselves on being a “bridge between pub grub and tweezer food,” as @juliamoskin says. Delicious, heartfelt food delivered with finesse and care. Fried chicken 2.0 coming back atcha tomorrow y’all!!!!!"
