The hype that surrounds Garden Catering is, in fact, warranted

If you happen to have grown up in the lower Fairfield County area, chances are you weren't able to get through high school without at least hearing about Garden Catering.

That's because they offer something colloquially known as the "high school special" (often times just called "the special"), which is a half pound of chicken nuggets and fries thrown together in a bag with some seasoning. If you ever get the chance to go there and haven't been before, order it. If you're not a big fan of it, there's plenty of other things to get.

The biggest problem facing someone getting their "special" fix, though, is parking. The Stamford location (which is the one that I happen to go to whenever I have to get work done on my car) has a small lot that is difficult to park in unless you've got a Fiat 500 type car. If you're like me and have a larger vehicle, you're better off waiting until the traffic dies down a bit and there's not as many cars in the lot.

Overall, Garden Catering is one of the best places to go when you're looking for some grub, although keep an eye out for the high school crowd.  I hear it's still a popular hangout spot.
