Ted's is good for burgers, and hit up Plan B if you want a damn fine burger in CT.

But yeah, you're not gonna find many good BBQ joints here.

But wait until summer rolls around, and head down to the shore, you'll get some fantastic seafood, the likes of which your formerly landlocked self cannot fathom

There's only one spot around central CT that does Mexican well, and it's a little hole in the wall place in Wallingford.

No, there are no Mexicans in Kansas. They stop dead in their tracks on the Texas / Oklahoma border.

Southwestern CT has loads of mexicans, I will never understand why there are so many illegals here.

Jesus, you were from Lawrence? Our burgers, barbecue are shit in town dude. I'm sure you'll find much better crap in CT.

Connecticut is a boring-ass place, but you might find a good stromboli in the South End of Hartford

There are two types of restaurants:

1. Those that use fresh ingredients to make authentic mexican food.

2. Those that make the cheap, greasy stuff I love.

The same thing that keeps everyone else out of Nebraska - no one wants to live there.

But seriously, one of the biggest INS raids was executed at a meat processing plant in Nebraska. They have loads of illegals too.

Who said I ever stayed in Lawrence for that stuff? I went to Kansas City for Hayes Hamburgers, LC's Hamburgers, Smokin Guns BBQ and also Okie Joe's of course..

Eat dick retard, their fries are perpetually shit, cold, and they don't know how to leat patties rest long enough so the bun doesn't get soggy as a babby's diaper. That place also doesn't fucking know how to clean their tap lines, and they serve all their brews at near freezing temps - good for cheap piss lager, but not for fucking craft brews. That place is shit.

"Good enough"

That describes every person I've ever met in Kansas. Dempsey's is not even good enough, as if such a thing is acceptable.

The Burger Stand is far better, but even that is a joke compared to the Beer Kitchen in Westport.

Dude, you realize you can still use your ID to get half priced shit at both Dempshits and the Burger Stand? I've been using my ID for years after I left to do that.

Also, you're a fucking piece of shit if you think wanting to eat better food for my money is elitist. You're just a waste of a person.
