I Know This Little Place

Happy New Year!! It’s been a while, but sometimes you stumble upon a place you just need to tell people about. That happened today at a little place called Lucy’s Luncheonette.
Lucy’s is located at 749 Saybrook Rd in Middletown. Their claim to fame is sourdough bread, which is why we went. The display case was filled with sourdough, baguettes, loaves of bread, as well as several varieties of muffins. They also have a breakfast and lunch menu with many choices. Today, we ordered a simple ham and cheese with lettuce and tomato on a baguette. Now, you know my philosophy of the bread makes the sandwich. This was the case today. It could have been just plain bread and butter and it would have been fantastic. The simple hame and cheese was elevated by the crispy, crusty delicious roll it came on. While I was paying, I overheard the owner say she was taking hot cinnamon rolls out of the oven. Of course we got one. I couldn’t put into words how good it was. They have been open for 2 months. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Let’s hope they are around for a long time.
So if you find yourself driving around Middletown and want to satisfy your hunger (and sweet tooth), run to this little place called Lucy’s Luncheonette!! You will be glad you did!

Hello from the most magical place on earth sandwich lovers!
Yes, I am at Disney World with my family. We have been coming here since my kids were little and I love it that they still enjoy it as adults. And yes, even at Disney there are sandwiches to be found. Today I found a delicious sandwich at Epcot in France, hidden in the back of the country is a little French, bakery and pastry shop. It’s counter service and you stand in line and are assigned a person to help you pick your choices from the many pastries and sandwiches in the case. (And the workers are all from France) . My choice today was a Jambon Burre. Which is a fancy name for a ham and cheese sandwich. But it was fancy. The ham was great, the cheese tasted, well, French, and it came with a Dijon butter. The star though was the baguette it came on. I always talk about good Italian bread, but the French do bread pretty good too. It was toasted and crisp and it made me feel like I was in Paris. It was very good.

Going back to Epcot later this week, and be on the lookout for another Instagram live!!

Welcome to the work week!!

My job requires me to travel quite a bit throughout New England. Some people hate to drive, but I actually don’t mind it at all. In fact, I enjoy being able to explore new places, and of course, new sandwiches! On my way to Danbury today, I stopped at a little place called Ami’s crispy bagel.

Alyssa from channel 8 recommended this place to me last week, and since I was going by it, thought I would give it a try. She was spot on with her advice. She told me to try the roast beef sandwich, but it was early, so I opted for a bacon,egg,and cheese on a toasted everything bagel. For me, the bacon needs to be crunchy. And it was. The egg was perfectly fried, and the cheese was meaty, which pulled the sandwich together perfectly. They have about 15 different choices of bagels, muffins, and a wide choice of sandwich combinations for lunch. I will definitely be back to try the roast beef.

So if you are on 84 in Waterbury CT, and are craving a good bagel breakfast or lunch sandwich, be sure and try this little place called Ami’s Crispy Bagel!!
