STAMFORD, Conn. -- Nick Type, an owner of the New Canaans Filling Station burger joint, is looking forward to this fall when his chain will expand to downtown Stamford.
The relaxed eatery offers a healthier take on typical fast-food fare, selecting many ingredients from local organic farms that are free from hormones, nitrates and antibiotics. The Filling Station also uses recycled packaging. Type's new location at 3 Landmark Square will bring that same tasty concept to Atlantic Street in October, under the name Station Eats.

Joseph Cordaro will return as Marius and Tyler Wolfson, a University of Connecticut student who previously played Javert, is now cast as Bamatabois. Bene Cordaro, who played an old woman in 2008, has graduated to role of Madam Thenardier.
