New England Restaurant Named One Of The Best Places For Chicken Parm

Author Jeff Gorra

This is one of the most popular dishes across the country. In its honor, Mashed highlighted the best Chicken Parmesan in December, and a New England restaurant was named.

Describing this dish as “comfort food at its finest,” Mashed says, “Whether you’re enjoying elevated dining or you just want a quick bite at a neighborhood spot in sandwich form, there’s a chicken parmesan option for you.”

Do you go with pasta or sub?

In addition to its hot and delicious taste, chicken parm has the flexibility to come in various forms. It’s commonly paired atop a mound of fresh pasta. Then, it is smothered by tomato sauce. Furthermore, a chicken parm sub sandwich is also a very satisfying (and filling) lunch option. Tucked in tightly between a crunchy sub roll and oozing with mozzarella cheese, this sandwich option can be found in restaurants and delis.

In New England, the restaurant that was named among the best for its chicken parmesan dish is not the first place you think of when searching for the best Italian food. In fact, this popular destination is better known for the nature adventures they offer. There’s a good chance you have embarked on a ski or hiking trip here.

We’re heading to Stowe, Vermont to a restaurant that is locally well-known for their pizza. Yet, it’s their chicken parm that is getting the national attention.

Salute

Located at 18 Edson Hill Road in Stowe, Salute serves their chicken parmesan dish specifically with rigatoni instead of spaghetti. Digging into the menu at Salute you’ll find this meal under the pasta al forno section, simply listed as “Parmesan.” Eggplant or veal are options here, but the chicken is the all-star of the bunch, however.

At Salute, you can wash the best chicken parmesan in New England down with various wines, beer, or spirits. If you are searching for the best chicken parm in Massachusetts, Eat This, Not That selected Carmelina’s in Boston for their smoked mozzarella take on this classic meal.

3 New England Restaurants Ranked For Having Best Breakfast Sandwiches

As a father of four, my mornings are always a bit hectic. I enjoy being an early bird; however, I rarely have the time to prep a good breakfast. Therefore, I was quite thrilled to see that Tasting Table recognized three New England restaurants for having the best breakfast sandwiches in the country. I’m always looking for a good quick breakfast.

A morning in my world usually consists of a sunrise workout, followed by a scramble to get myself and the kids out of the house. Then I embark on an hour-long drive to the office. On the weekends, it’s taking one of my kids to their sports game. Let’s focus on the latter for a moment.

While I am more lenient on my breakfast choice (a banana or shake will do), I insist upon a healthy start for the little guys. Driving them all around New England on weekends requires a few drive-thru meals that you eat in the car. My preference is for the kids to have something substantial, with a protein they enjoy. A breakfast sandwich is often the choice.

The perfect breakfast sandwich should follow three simple rules. It’s quick, both to order and make. It’s fresh (not a microwaved egg slab pulled out of plastic). Finally, it’s a balanced hand-held item that is not too heavy, processed or sugar-filled.

When trekking through interstates and unfamiliar towns at sunrise, it’s easy to settle upon the quickest Dunkin’ Donuts. Now, there are some other options that you (and I) should know about. These three New England restaurants ranking among the best breakfast sandwiches in the country.

Before we get into the list, it is necessary to give one other shout-out. The Portland, Oregon establishment named by Tasting Table has both the best restaurant and sandwich name. The “Yolko Ono” by Fried Egg I’m In Love.

  • Massachusetts - "Geno's Egg Sandwich"

    Sofra Bakery and Café in Cambridge, MA, is the first stop. Tasting Table calls out “Geno’s Egg Sandwich.” This is a brioche bun filled with egg topped with halloumi cheese, feta butter, tomato concasse, and spicy green cilantro.

  • New Hampshire - "Egg Simit"

    Next, we hop on 95 North and pull into the Elephantine Bakery in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Here the selected breakfast sandwich is called the “Egg Simit.” It’s the healthiest of the three choices based on pure ingredients. This sandwich consists of egg, hummus, beat pistachio spread, feta, and spinach on a sesame simit.

  • Maine - "The Breakfast Sandwich"

    I actually had a very hard time securing a quick bacon, egg, and cheese this past spring while in Maine for a lacrosse tournament. Now I know I need to go to a coffee shop next time. Tandem Coffee has something so good, it doesn’t even need a clever name. “The Breakfast Sandwich” is simply egg, American cheese, and smoked paprika. However, when you rest it upon a homemade buttermilk biscuit, you reach a new level.
