DANBURY - If you’ve missed the news that hamburgers might play a role in the peace summit planned between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, Stew Leonard’s has you covered.

The family-owned food store with six locations including Danbury and Norwalk has offered to send 10,000 of its hamburgers to the Trump-Kim summit as a good will measure.

Seriously.

Stew Leonard’s offer, which has been sent to the State Department, is in response to a news report that Kim wanted to open an American-style hamburger restaurant in Pyongyang, the North Korean capital.

Trump, whose own fondness for burgers is well-documented, suggested in 2016 that the two leaders could eat hamburgers at the summit.
