King Louie's



Words fail me to describe this hamburger sandwich and the place I had it at. Louis' Lunch has been around New Haven, CT since 1898 and this is about the only thing they make (there's a tuna sandwich on Fridays, but I'm guessing it's not their biggest seller). Don't think a burger joint the size of a tool shed can make a simple burger and be around for 112 years? Guess again. If I only was allowed to eat red meat once a year, this would be my annual pilgrimage to Mecca. No need for cheese, onions, lettuce, tomato or ketchup (sauces are banned at Louis', only those four toppings mentioned are worthy of consideration). Just an excellent blend of ground meats, grills dating back to the Civil War, and some toasted white bread. Pure heaven.
