I also got a half chicken parm grinder – just to be safe – because I wasn’t 100% sure if I would like the pepper and egg.  

My new rankings:

Franklin Giant Grinder does the best chicken cutlet/parm in the state of Connecticut.  It could be the oil they use, or the breading, or both, or something else – but there’s a distinctive, addictive quality that I’ve simply never seen duplicated.  They are A-number-1 for this type of grinder.

Coming in at a very, very close second place is Wethersfield Pizza House, with Corner Deli in Hamden and Carbone’s Market in Torrington tying for a respectable third.
