0:00It's April 15th, Hartford News, today starts now, AI-powered and ready. Two veteran executive chefs, one French train and the other an Italian specialist, ditched high-end spots to launch the Hidden Kitchen in Manchester. Last October, it's a breakfast and lunch counter at Hilliard Mills, mostly carry out serving fresh sandwiches, salads, bowls, tacos and soups all under 20. Dollars, they apply fine dining tricks like slow-roasting meats and house-made everything to everyday eats. The menu rotates with seasonal farm veggies, from pork belly sandwiches to keen-was salads loaded with fruits and greens. These guys met years back at a weather-sfield restaurant, bonded over food and now complement each other's skills, one slicer from the 1920s. Keeps things old-school precise. They've got a catering side too for weddings and events. Customers are buzzing online, calling the food stellar, with perfect portions, and bold flavors, like suckle-tash tacos, blending southwest and native, taste.

1:09Reviews rave about sandwiches, such as turkey, with apple and arugula, or pressed cubano, praising the crisp bread and balanced bites that taste like, summer. Word of mouth is fueling steady growth, just like they planned, while they hunt fresh rhubarb, peas and ferns from local farms come spring.
