"The Order: Caesar With Happy Fried Chicken We love this Wallingford bar for a nighttime snacks-and-drinks session or Sunday brunch—though they also happen to serve an outstanding caesar salad. The base is a blend of burly lacinato kale and some milder lettuces, with the occasional bundle of greens and parmesan shavings spackled together by an excess of creamy dressing. But what differentiates this bowl of Vitamin A from the rest of them are bonito flakes that add a dashi-flavored smokiness and crumbly croutons repurposed from the house focaccia. Add some fried popcorn chicken on top for best results." - aimee rizzo
