As an Emmy-winning producer for “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives,” David Page certainly knows a thing or two about finding good food.
In his recently published book, “Food Americana,” Page shares the backstory behind the foods Americans love to eat, including pizza, burgers, bagels and sushi, and explains how the dishes have evolved to suit American palates.
With an entire nation’s worth of food to chat about, Page’s book features a few familiar Connecticut locations, including Louis’ Lunch and Miya’s Sushi in New Haven and Ted’s Restaurant in Meriden. Page also writes about Connecticut-style lobster rolls, how Lender’s Bagels in New Haven changed the bagel scene and shares a tale about an ice cream man from the Nutmeg state.
