COMFORT FOOD AND TASTY TREATS AT THE COMMON MAN ROADSIDE
Monday, August 25, 2025

| Apple cider donut whoopie pie |
 |
| Cuban sandwich |
 |
| Hooksett, NH location |
 |
| Turkey Gobbler |
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!

MIGHTY SUBS CALLS IT A DAY
Friday, July 28, 2023
 |
| Mighty Subs closes after 33 years. |
After 33 years, the popular Mighty Subs is closing. This little sub shop and its owners Artie and Karen Wright are beloved in Needham, Massachusetts. They are known for their gigantic sandwiches, so much so that their slogan is, "Our Small is Their Large." The owners are stepping away to spend more time with their family. Lines for lunch have been out the door over the past week. I've heard they have run out of bread, and even some of their meats because they have been so slammed. Best wishes to the owners in their well-deserved retirement!

GIGANTIC SANDWICHES AT BUSHEL N PECK
Sunday, July 03, 2022
 |
| The Jenerator |
 |
| Bushel N Peck's Grafton location |
 |
| Tons of drinks, chips and frozen entrees |
 |
| Mac & cheese, kebobs and lasagna fill one of their showcases. |
Grafton, Clinton, Worcester & Westboro Massachusetts
Bring along a healthy appetite at the Bushel N Peck, a deli with a number of locations across Massachusetts. Eat Up New England visited their Grafton spot and was wowed by the selection.
There are a number of "creative combos" sandwiches to choose from. I ordered the "Jenerator." This large sandwich on half of an Italian bread comes with ham, bacon, swiss cheese, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, mayo and honey mustard. It's fantastic. You can also custom order a sandwich of your own, with a variety of meats, breads, spreads and topping to choose from. There are salads, soups, wraps, vegetarian options and hot sandwiches, including a Pork Belly BLT made with thick cut bacon, melted cheddar, lettuce and tomatoes with Sriracha aioli.
Be sure to check out their showcases which are filled with entrees like meat lasagna, kebobs, mac & cheese, chicken and a number of cold pasta salads. They even had a fried cheesecake when we visited. There's a seemingly endless selection of drinks and chips. You can also get frozen pizzas, pastas and more to go. Another bonus: as prices skyrocket everywhere, I thought Bushel N Peck's prices were very fair.

PERFECT PANINIS AT HOT TABLE

| Cranberry turkey club |
Hot Table
Framingham, MA
Hot Table specializes in amazingly delicious paninis filled with whatever you'd like. This small local chain recently opened its latest location in Shoppers World in Framingham and I am so glad I stopped by.
The bread for the paninis is made fresh in house. Choose from small, medium or large. I LOVED their large cranberry turkey club. This limited time special is stuffed with turkey, crumbled bacon, lettuce, American cheese and a tasty cranberry mayo. It was the best panini I've ever eaten.
There are so many other panini options on their menu like a chicken pesto, chicken parm, spicy bbq pork and Italian cold cut. There are a ton of sandwich stuffers and fillers to make whatever kind of panini you can dream up. Hot Table also offers a few salads on their menu, along with some soups. Fountain drinks round out the meal. I enjoyed their cranberry lemonade.
Hot Table has a hand full of other locations in Massachusetts including in Marlboro and Worcester, along with a few in Connecticut. Hot Table also has an app where guests earn points for free food.

The chain is set to open locations in Plainville, Milford, Saugus, Shrewsbury, Fairhaven and Stoneham. Jersey Mike's is known for their fresh sliced deli meats on fresh baked bread. Their cheese steaks and Italian sub are among my favorites. Eat Up New England is happy to see them expanding.

Ashland, Massachusetts
www.mybageltable.com
There's a new place to kick off your day in Ashland, Massachusetts. The Bagel Table is now open for business. The owners started off selling their bagels at local farmer's markets. They were so popular that they opened their first store in Chestnut Hill, and now, this second shop on Main Street in Ashland.
They specialize in New York style bagels in a variety of flavors from asiago cheese to sesame. Top one off with cream cheese or make a sandwich out of it. They also sell croissants and muffins. The Bagel Table also serves lunch. I enjoy their Italian sandwich, which is stuffed full of meats and cheese. I also ordered a cup of their clam chowder with bagel croutons. This chowder was FANTASTIC, comparable to chowders found in Maine or on the Cape.
The Bagel Table also bakes up a variety of desserts like cupcake, cookies, and whoopie pies. They also sold pies for customers at Thanksgiving.

EAT UP ON THE ROAD: PHILLY'S FANTASTIC FOOD
Saturday, June 30, 2018

| Cheesesteak Hoagie from Cleavers |
 |
| Crabfries from Chickie's & Petes |
Eat Up New England also made it to Citizens Bank Park for a Phillies game. So many people were eating crabfries, so I hunted them out. They come from the local chain, Chickie's & Pete's. These seasoned fries are so addictive, especially when you pair them with hot cheese sauce.

You don't have to drive all the way to New York City to find the perfect deli. Just head to Vernon, Connecticut for a meal at Rein's Deli.
This restaurant is massive. If you go for breakfast or lunch on the weekend, don't get turned off by the line. It goes fast and there's plenty of room for everyone. Once you sit down, it's time to conquer Rein's menu. There are hundreds and hundreds of dishes. For breakfast there are omelets, egg sandwiches, French toast on challah bread, pancakes, bagels, cheese blintzes, sour cream coffee cake. You want it? Rein's has it.
For lunch, Rein's has so many soups that they publish a soup schedule on their website! Rein's makes ever sandwich under the sun from peanut butter & jelly to their famous pastrami sandwich. I ordered their fantastic ham & cheese sandwich. The ham and cheese were piled high and the bread was perfectly soft. Rein's also has a huge dessert menu with lemon meringue pie, cheesecake, apple pie and a warm noodle pudding made with egg noodles, sour cream, cottage cheese and raisins.
Rein's Deli's open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. On Fridays and Saturdays, they don't close until midnight. They have a full bakery and deli, along with a refrigerated section allowing customers to take home their flavorful foods.

HUGE, TASTY SANDWICHES AT ZOEY'S DELI IN VERMONT
Friday, November 11, 2016
Zoey's specializes in huge sandwiches on homemade bread. I ordered the Granny Smith with ham, apples, cheddar and honey mustard. It's served with their homemade potato chips. This was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. It was so fresh and full of flavor. The bread added so much to the sandwich. It tasted like it just came out of the oven, which it probably did. They have several different breads to choose from including country white, whole wheat, marbled rye and multigrain.
Other sandwiches include the Buffalo Bill, with buffalo chicken, lettuce, tomato, bacon and ranch dressing. They have a long list of sandwiches that they specialize in or you can make your own. Zoey's also has several salads including classics like Greek, garden and Caesar to fun salads like a pineapple chicken and a Super 7 Salad with spinach, chicken, cheddar, craisins, pineapple, mandarin oranges and walnuts. For dessert, try one of their massive cookies.

WHICH WICH SANDWICH CHAIN COMES TO MASSACHUSETTS
Sunday, November 06, 2016
What makes Which Wich different from all of the other chains, is that customers write up their own orders. You pick a bag and write out exactly what you want on your sandwich, from size to toppings. Right now, they have a Philly cheesesteak special going on. There's the "Authentic Philly" with provolone and the "South Philly" with Cheeze Whiz. I enjoyed my "Authentic Philly." I'd also recommend their house chips, which are a peppery complement to their sandwiches.
Their signature sandwich is "The Wicked." It's stuffed with five meats and three cheeses. Which Wich made headlines in 2010 when a customer from Atlanta dislocated his jaw biting into one! Also on their menu, a sandwich called "The Hula," with ham and pineapple. They also have classic beef, turkey, tuna, chicken and Italian sandwiches that are fully customizable. Which Wich also sells milkshakes, cookies and ice cream sandwiches.

MOUTH-WATERING SUBS AT DIBELLA'S SUBS IN NEWINGTON, CT
Monday, July 04, 2016
I loved the decor, from their neon signs to their vintage lighting. They also have a huge dining room with plenty of room for families. DiBella's has a huge counter for ordering. You can watch them make your sub right in front of you. All subs come in small, medium and large. The DiBella's Cheesesteak above is a small and it was more than enough for lunch. I enjoyed it with provolone cheese, peppers and onions. Check out that bread! That's their everything bread. It's just like an everything bagel. DiBella's also has sesame, multigrain and plain breads. They make them all in house.
Some of their classic subs include the "Godfather," with genoa salami, capicola and ham. There's the "Uncle Louie" with roast beef, turkey and ham. You can even get a cheese sub with assorted cheeses. Specialty subs include "The Cowboy," with bacon, BBQ sauce, chicken and cheddar cheese. There's also the "Buffalo Chicken," with grilled chicken smothered in Buffalo sauce, ranch or blue cheese and topped with melted cheese. Add a pickle, pasta or potato salad to any of their sandwiches. They also make chocolate chip cookies in house!
As of today, DiBella's is only in Connecticut. They have other locations in Milford, Hamden and Wallingford.

JERSEY MIKE'S SUBS
Sunday, April 10, 2016
Jersey Mike's subs come in mini, regular and giant. Their bread is made fresh at all of their shops. Their sandwich meats and cheeses are cut right in front of you. A nice touch. I enjoyed a mini "The American Classic," a ham and provolone sub. They really piled on the ham, cheese and lettuce, so even though it was a mini, there was plenty to eat.
Other cold subs include an Italian, tuna, "Jersey Shore's Favorite" with provolone, ham and cappacuolo and a roast beef and provolone sub. They also server many hot subs including meatball & cheese, chicken parm and "Jersey Mike's Famous Philly." There are also several chicken cheese steaks on their menu along with many classic wraps like chicken Caesar, grilled veggie and a turkey wrap. They can also make any of their subs into a salad.
Check out Jersey Mike's in the Casino of the Sky at Mohegan Sun. They also have locations all over Massachusetts and North Providence and Warwick, Rhode Island.

1912 CAFE INSIDE L.L. BEAN'S FLAGSHIP STORE IN MAINE
Monday, February 22, 2016
I recently stopped by for lunch and ordered their "Mainely Cuban" sandwich with a side of clam chowder. The chowder was think and hearty. The sandwich was stuffed with smoked ham, Swiss cheese and their amazing house pickles. The combination of flavors on that sandwich was so good! Those homemade pickles are amazing. They sell them by the jar to take home.
Their menu also features several wheat wraps and salads. Go healthy with their Mediterranean salad or their Nuts & Berries Salad. They also offer cheese and hummus plates, along with plenty of vegetarian and gluten free options. The 1912 Cafe is also open for breakfast from 9am- noon every day with a menu that features breakfast sandwiches and bagels

You can choose from one of their salads off the menu, or make you're own. You can actually fill out of sheet with whatever ingredients you want! We also ordered a grilled cheese with cheddar, avocado, goat cheese and spinach. The buttery bread was the perfect compliment to this perfect sandwich.

UPDATE: Sadly, First & Last bakery closed in 2020.
The Bakery is was packed with people on Saturday morning. We were lucky to find a table! I ordered the "morning scrambler," which is a scramble of eggs, cheese and sausage. It's served with roasted potatoes and a small muffin. It was so good and so filling! I also grabbed two cups of their peppermint stick coffee, which they are serving for the Christmas season. Delicious!
