Legendary simple burger joint in CT

[neil]

I recall that in their swansong issue, Gourmet magazine did a feature on the best roadside burgers. They described at seasonal Connecticut joint that server great hamburgers -- on white toast as they had for years. I think it was off the Merritt Parkway - but I could be hoping that was the case.

I'm light on details. ... Can anyone resurrect this memory or make a substitute recommendation for a trip North on the Merritt Parkway on Sunday afternoon?

What about Clamps on route 202 past New Milford? It's seasonal.

On white toast? Sounds like you might be talking about Louis Lunch in downtown New Haven (supposedly the original home of the hamburger, and they still cook them on 1890's equipment). No ketchup allowed!

If it is a "legendary" place, I would also guess it is Louis. Personally, I am not a fan but it certainly is an institution.
