Serendipity at Clamp's

Mamie's-ham

Forgetting that Clamp's Hamburger Stand closes every day at 2pm (but then reopens at 5pm), I arrived for lunch today at 2:10 only to watch picnickers enjoying the last of their fried-onion-topped burgers. As I grumbled my way back to the car, who should I run into at a table but Ed Levine, author of New York Eats and the man behind the excellent website Serious Eats. Ed and his wife were finishing off a meal with two friends from nearby Roxbury, Arietta and Sam, who had a suggestion: Mamie's in their home town. Mamie's serves real food, Sam declared; and when I pressed the issue, Arietta explained, "really good cheese in the grilled cheese sandwich." It turned out to be a terrific tip, as I hope is evidenced by the picture of my grilled Black Forest ham and brie with spinach, red onion, and hot wholegrain mustard. Mamie's makes a specialty of breakfast, so I am heading back there and will write a full review after a few morning meals.

I'm wondering if I've found Clamp's at Microsoft's mapping site.

maps.live.com/default.aspx's%20hamburger%20stand%3F_No%20address.%20%20%22Northern%20most%20New%20Milford%2C%20just%20before%20Marble%20Dale.%22___&encType=1

If that link works it should be a bird's eye view, looking south, with a spot marked that looks like a small white building with some parking. The location matches the directions, such as they are, in the Roadfood review.
