The Charm of BBQ in Connecticut
Having lived in Connecticut for a few years, I have developed quite a fondness for the local BBQ spots. Authentic Chinese BBQ is truly a delight for the taste buds! Here are a few places I highly recommend.
1. Chinatown BBQ
Located in Hartford, Chinatown BBQ is a must-try. Their char siu (BBQ pork) and roast duck are my personal favorites. The char siu is cut thick with a slightly caramelized exterior, sweet and savory at the same time. The roast duck has a crispy skin and juicy meat. Prices are around $10-$15 for main dishes, which is a steal!
2. Flavor BBQ
This gem in New Haven is perfect for family gatherings. Flavor BBQ's specialty is their roast meat and poached chicken, served with peanut sauce that adds a rich flavor. Expect to spend about $15-$20 per person. If you go at night, be sure to call ahead for a reservation since it’s often packed!
3. Delicious BBQ
In Stamford, Delicious BBQ is known for their braised meat platter, which includes various meats that are aromatic and drool-worthy. Every time I go, I make sure to bring friends to share the deliciousness! Prices are a bit higher here, around $20-$25 for main dishes, but it's definitely worth it.
