Hamden is not much of a restaurant town but it has got the best sushi restaurant in the state there. The restaurant used to be called Hama (but since the name was already registered to another restaurant they had to chang it) but it has been renamed Sono Bana. The restaurant is headed by Mutosan who is one of the best traditional style chefs in Connecticut (I personnally feel he is the best). Mutosan has won the best of in the New Haven Advocate twelve times. His restaurant has won best Japanese restaurant in Connecticut Magazine six times. Sono Bana is highly praised by Zagats as well as the New Haven register and other publications.

There is a little burger place in Meriden that I went to called Ted's famous steamed burgers which serves just that. The burgers that are absolutely succulent are steamed in a stove top steamer invented by the owner. I also had a steamed hot dog which was the juiciest hot dog i have ever eaten. I highly recommend this place. You have to bring your own champaigne as they serve only soda. Like Loui's and Yankee Doodle this place has had significant media exposure.

Yankee Doodle on Broadway in New Haven is a tiny griddle that has quietly toiled away for three generations making sandwhiches the good old fashioned way. Every single item on their menu is cheap, fast and real good. They even have their own hamburger relish that is addictive. This is one of the great restaurants of New Haven, a must try that is every bit as legitamate as Louis lunch. If you are a bigeater be sure to try the doodle challenge which is up tp thirty six burgers at this writing. The Yankee doodle has been in numerous national publications and has been featured in a documentary of the burger.

Dear Bun,
I would like to thank you for the magical evening. We have had so many together, but paradoxically, each seems to be unique and special. Upon reflection, this is the magic of a night at Miya's with Bun Lai presiding as sorcerer.
Goethe once wrote that "one ought, everyday at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words." Though I feel some trepidation in amending such fine words from such a supremely perceptive man, I dare say that Goethe, if he ever dinned at Miya's, would have included "to eat a lovely meal, and pass time with a beautiful soul," to his requisites for a good day. Not many bring such goodness into the world for others to experience and take into their lives. It is the combination of a rare gift and creative energy. You should know this.

Ming, the owner of Miso Japanese restaurant said in a New Haven Advocate interview (where his restaurant won a category for the first time in seven years), that he opened up Miso because "there were no good Japanese restaurants in New Haven." Interestingly, in the seven years that Miso has been open it has only one Advocate award and no major reviews. Humility can be a bitter pill to swallow. My favorite Japanese restaurant, Sono Bana, has quietly won numerous accolades without being remotely snobby. From the Japanese culture, Ming can learn humility, modesty...and definitely how to cook a little better.
