Glocal - domestic mangos and croissants -



Croissants and a baguette from Catania Bakery






And domestic mangos....... I was quick to notice this mango at Whole Foods - grown in California and organic too. As can be seen from the prominent CA Grown label, that the the mango is from the US is a big part of the marketing.








American mangos and croissants twists concepts of foreign / local / global cuisine. So what is global when it becomes local? Glocal?



Louis' Lunch - New Haven, Connecticut - Hamburger History

   The original hamburger sandwich? Who knows? Is it any good????
   We made this a stop on a drive on I-95 that went through New Haven in 2010 - kids thought the burgers are great! I had felafel across the street as the vegetarian alternative.......  Well worth stopping at - especially if you like beef......
