SOUTHBURY, CT — A Southbury restaurant made it onto Food & Wine Magazine's "Best Diners in Every State" list. Laurel Diner is Southbury was named Connecticut's best diner.

Food & Wine notes that diners have struggled over the last two years, but there are still plenty of winners out there.

They wrote: "The American diner had already been struggling in the face of changing tastes, habits, and costs. Some are gone, some have lost their bearings, and others are struggling to stay afloat, but there are more—many more!—shining bright like the diamonds, in the rough or fully polished, that they have always been. That's what this list is about."

On the Laurel Diner, the magazine wrote: "We're talking New England here, so it's not as if there's a diner shortage, which means we can be picky. In Connecticut, there's a simple rule that will help you narrow down your options: the smaller, the better. Take the Laurel Diner in Southbury. There are flashier diners, the kind that call out to you from afar, and this is not one of those places. Tiny and unobtrusive though it might be, nobody who lives around here has any trouble squeezing through the door for their homemade corned beef hash breakfasts."
