There's this one that calls Connecticut the "Foodie Capital of New England":
There's another one that calls it the "Basketball Capital of the World":
There's this one that says it's the "Home of the Submarine Capital of the World":
But the one that is causing the greatest stir is this one:
Yeah, the "Pizza Capital of the United States."
People had a lot to say about that one!
