The Common Man Roadside
Various locations in New Hampshire
The Common Man has been a family favorite for hearty food for a long time. Now, hungry drivers can get their fix of The Common Man along with some gas or a six-pack of local beer. The Common Man Roadside locations have been popping up in places like Portsmouth and Hooksett and are the perfect place to stop on the way to the mountains or Story Land or Santa's Village.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are on the menu. There are breakfast sandwiches, veggie and meat skillets and several classic omelets to choose from. For lunch and dinner, there is pizza by the pie or slice, along with deli sandwiches, hot sandwiches, salads, grilled cheese and mac and cheese. I loved their turkey gobbler hot sandwich, which is packed with turkey, stuffing, gravy and honey dijon cranberry dijonnaise on toasted buttered sourdough. Delicious and filling. I can also recommend their Cuban sandwich and try it with their homemade chips.
The star of the show for me was their apple cider donut whoopie pie. The chilled cream with the sweet and cinnamony cider donut make for a fall flavor explosion in your mouth. Crazy good. The Common Man Roadside also has some other exotic whoopies like a S'mores whoopie, peanut butter whoopie and Dubai whoopie. There is also cheesecake, brownies, cinnamon rolls, cookies and cannolis.
Just in case that wasn't enough, they offer an extensive menu of coffees to rival Starbucks. All of this is nestled inside of a convenience store which has a large selection of beer and wine, candy, chilled drinks and New Hampshire souvenirs. Run to The Common Man Roadside when your stomach starts growling the next time you're driving through New Hampshire!

PERFECT PIZZA & SWEET TREATS AT THE FRAMINGHAM BAKING COMPANY
Thursday, January 17, 2019
 |
| The bakery was started by three immigrants from Italy in 1917. |
 |
| Their famous cheesy sheet pizza. |
 |
| Ganache Brownie - one of their Valentine's Day treats. |
Framingham, Massachusetts

Open since 1917, the Framingham Baking Company is tucked in not far from downtown Framingham. Don't blink because you might just miss it. A small wooden sign is all that lets customers know about the deliciousness that awaits inside.
Everything at the Framingham Baking Company is made fresh right there. There are breads including Italiian bread, French bread, subs and rolls. For breakfast, go for their cinnamon rolls drizzled with icing and a variety of croissants. The pizza is what really puts Framingham Baking Company on the map. They are known for their sheets of pizza, square slices with lots of yummy cheese. Their broccoli & cheese pizza is one of my favorites. Their meatball and ham & pineapple slices are also fantastic. The toppings are different every day, so be sure to check their Facebook page to see what they are offering before stopping by. They also tend to sell out, so be sure to get their in time for lunch.
I can never leave the Framingham Baking Company without grabbing a bunch of sweet treats. Their anise cookies are fantastic. They always have mini loaves of chocolate cake and carrot cake, which I can never pass up. Seasonal baked goods are a delight throughout the year. Right now, there are "Go Patriots" football-shaped cookies. Romantics with a sweet tooth may prefer their heart-shaped ganache brownies and heart-shaped cookies for Valentine's Day.

CRULLER FRENCH TOAST & MAPLE BACON DONUT'S AT LOU'S
Wednesday, May 24, 2017
30 South Main Street
Hanover, NH
www.lousrestaurant.com
Since 1947, Lou's Restaurant & Bakery has been the place to eat in Hanover, New Hampshire. It's the perfect spot for family, friends and Dartmouth College students to gather. Eat Up New England recently stopped by for breakfast on a busy Sunday and discovered some unique eats on their menu.
Lou's is jumping on Sunday mornings. There was a line to the back of the restaurant. I made the best of it by ordering one of the few remaining maple bacon donuts that was glistening in their showcase. It was around $3 and worth every penny.
The line moved fast, and soon, we were seated at the back of the house. Our server came right over and brought us our drinks. I looked over the menu and was intrigued by their Cruller French Toast. They use a sugary sweet cruller instead of bread. I ordered "The Little Green," with the cruller, bacon, scrambled eggs and home fries. The Cruller French Toast was as delicious as it sounds.
Lou's has all of the other classic breakfasts on their menu including waffles, pancakes, omelets and biscuits & gravy. Breakfast is served all day. Their lunch menu is filled with burgers, sandwiches and salads. For dessert, there are frappes and ice cream. Lou's also serves pies, with fillings that rotate in and out depending on the season.

FRESHLY ROASTED COFFEE AND MOUTH-WATERING BAKED GOODS AT PIE IN THE SKY
Friday, January 22, 2016
Pie in the Sky is the perfect place for breakfast. Their showcase is full of several types of croissants, danish, popovers, cookies, brownies and scones. They'll also make you a hot breakfast sandwich. For lunch and dinner, there are salads, sandwiches, wraps and soups. You've got to try one of their pies for dessert. I enjoyed their hot apple pie with whipped cream.
It's hard to miss their huge coffee roaster in the corner of the dining room. This 17-hundred pound beast is always packed with fresh coffee beans roasting for their coffee. Pie in the Sky also has a variety of smoothies, teas, cappuccinos and lattes.

ISABELLA'S STICKY BUNS IN FREEPORT, MAINE
Tuesday, September 08, 2015
One of my favorite high-calorie breakfasts is the bacon, egg and cheese biscuit at McDonald's. Isabella's Sticky Buns in Freeport, Maine also has this classic sandwich on their menu, but of course, theirs is so much better. It's made with bacon and eggs right off of the grill. I enjoyed mine with some cheddar cheese. The biscuit was warm and crumbly.
Isabella's serves breakfast and lunch all day. Their coffee is from Maine's Coffee By Design. Other breakfast options include pancakes, French toast, scrambles and omelets. Their famous sticky buns are topped with walnuts and raisins. They even have a sticky bun French toast on the menu. For lunch, there are grilled sandwiches like the turkey & granny smith apple, baked ham & Swiss cheese and the vegan burger. There are also several soups and salads on the menu.
Isabella's is open daily in the summer and fall. They are closed Mondays and Tuesdays January- May. It's just steps away from the L.L. Bean headquarters in Freeport.

MOZZICATO BAKERY & PASTRY SHOP IN HARTFORD
Saturday, March 07, 2015
I was amazed by how many cakes they have ready to order. There are shelves and shelves of fresh-baked cakes. You'll often see one of their bakers bringing one out. Right now, you'll notice the huge sign in the window for zeppole. They come in three different flavors: vanilla, chocolate and ricotta. I got the ricotta and it is delicious.
They even have a cafe next door which has a full bar, cappuccino and many of they delicious pastries.
