Press release from Cora J. Belden Library:

March 15, 2022

From hot dogs to haute cuisine, Connecticut boasts an impressive array of tempting delicacies for every taste and budget. Hot, buttered lobster rolls, steamed cheeseburgers, and coal-fired New Haven-style pizza are just a few of the delights that await adventurous foodies in the Nutmeg State. With Unique Eats and Eateries of Connecticut and Mike Urban as your guide, you’ll find a new place to try on every page and get the stories behind the food, too. Bask in the warmth of the Connecticut shore at Abbott’s Lobster in the Rough, where three generations of the Mears family slow steam and serve lobsters on sunny picnic tables along the waterfront. Find out why O’Rourke’s Diner in Middletown was supported by its community and the Wesleyan students who love it after a devastating fire threatened to put them out of business in 2006. Join author Mike Urban on Zoom as he takes you on a virtual tour around this culinary wonderland to explore eats and eateries that are both familiar and exotic.

Mike Urban is an award-winning food and travel writer and the author of four books on New England cuisine: Clam Shacks, Lobster Shacks, The New England Diner Cookbook and The New England Seafood Markets Cookbook.
