Voted #1 Hot Dog in CT, and serving Hamden for over 70 years.
Rocky Stone, a Tip-Top salesman and deliveryman, buys the drive-in. He adds hours and grows the menu. The tall sign out front listed the food: frankfurts, fried clams, lobster rolls.
His son Frank takes over and keeps growing the menu and the building.
Frank's children are in the business. His daughter Kelly opened Kelly's Cone Connection, the ice cream parlor attached to Glenwood.
