My husband remembers going to a wonderful hamburger place in CT as a kid and it was written up in a SAVEUR article about a year ago. He thinks it may have been in Colchester or Manchester, CT. Thanks! Tue Jun 12 23:29:41 -0700 2001 0 kat 1 848805 Is is Shady Glen, in Manchester? The Sterns wrote it up in Gourmet (I believe) a while back, highly touting their cheeseburgers.

Then another road was built which bypassed town, and I thought that eventually Harry's would wither and disappear. Nice to see that it hasn't (I've lived in California for 30 years, so it is hard to keep up with stuff like this).

If this was an outdoor shack type place, painted white, in the center of a small town, it was Harry's Place, in the center of Colchester. If it was a 50's-style ice cream parlor that served cheeseburgers with "wings" (browned, fried cheese that overlapped the burger and got crisp on the grill), then it was Shady Glen, on Route 6 east of Manchester center. Good luck. Sun Nov 04 23:27:59 -0800 2001 848801 0 joedeboer 1 1757619 Not Louis Lunch in New Haven, which claims to have "invented" the hamburger?

The hamburg is cooked down so much it will only fit on a dinner roll. Not my idea of a great hamburg. But to each is own thats what makes the world go round.

You can actually try to set the record for mini burger consumption, although I wouldn't recommend trying. The record's 17. Try the bacon wrapped, cheese stuffed hotdog on a buttered bun then check your self into yale's cardiologist dept. Try the yankee doodle Tue Aug 01 17:14:17 -0700 2006 848801 23058 ElizabethHenton 2 1780387 Ah, the joys of a Doodle Burger and a pig in a blanket! With their homemade "barbecue sauce" which is more like a chunky ketcup! And cherry cokes made with cola syrup, cherry syrup and seltzer! And if your arteries aren't completely clogged after eating a few cheeseburgers and pigs in a blanket, be sure to order a donut, split in half and fried in butter, with ice cream on top.
