    Not so sure about Maine but southern New England is awesome for pizza, bagels and sandwiches.

      Southern New England is good for pizza? I think you’re confusing. New York City with New England.

        I don’t know what people are going on about in this thread. sounds like a bunch of tourists or people who live in meth towns in New England. like lobster rolls, sure. oysters, they can have that too. but pizza? bagels? for us to be claiming to be good at that stuff is just ridiculous. southern New England has great Mexican and Chinese food too! might as well make those claims too while we’re at it.

          Absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. Never been to New Haven or Danbury or like, the rest of the state? Or more like you’ve never seen how shit pizza, Italian sandwiches and bagels are in the rest of the country.

            ever been to NY? Chicago? Philly?Detroit? LA? all better pizza cities with more options. is New Haven underrated for pizza? certainly. is it standout? no. it’s ok. it’s not bad but saying s. new England is known for pizza because of New Haven pizza is just ridiculous dude. like really? we’re gonna say a whole region has good pizza cuz one city has like two good pizza places while it’s dog shit everywhere else?

              Why are you only talking about large cities in the northeast and Detroit? I’m comparing it to places like Minneapolis, Phoenix, Portland, LA, Houston, Dallas, Austin, Denver and Seattle. I’ve eaten pizza in small towns in Connecticut that beat the crap out of anything I’ve had in those cities.

                I’m mentioning large cities in the northeast because they all have better pizza than southern New England. you think small towns in other states don’t have randomly delicious pizza? small town pizza is good everywhere dude. all pizza tastes fucking delicious when you’re driving in the middle of bumfuck Connecticut. same with other small towns. doesn’t mean the whole southern New England is known for pizza. Western Oklahoma City is known for pizza too.

        they have like duckfat, a donut place, and that’s about it. relative to outside of new England, the food there is mediocre at best…

      only someone from New England and not well traveled would say this though. if you’ve gone around the block, pizza and bagels are relatively mediocre if not borderline poor there and a coastal town that has good sandwiches is literally true across North America. so sure, if you’re from Worcester or something and never gone anywhere outside of new England, then sure, southern New England has great food!

        No, in real life I’ve traveled through 45 states and lived in 10. Not from New England either. No idea what you’re talking about really, but just so you know, you’re wrong. Mainly I’m talking about Connecticut and Boston. I don’t have any illusions that there’s great cuisine in Vermont or rural Maine or some shit.

          did you go to 45 states and only eat McDonald’s or something? I just can’t believe you’ve tried food in other states and think Connecticut and Boston (wtf?!?) have good food. I’m from Boston and I know the food here is dog shit. I also can’t name a single good restaurant in Connecticut that isn’t some cookie cutter new American restaurant.
