My Top 10 “Funny” Things About Driving in Vermont:

1. Blinkers are optional. Some Vermonters treat turn signals like classified information.

2. Moose crossing signs aren’t warnings… they’re suspense thrillers.

3. The “Vermont Wave” = lifting one finger off the steering wheel. That’s it.

4. GPS says Elm Street… but it’s actually a dirt road with cows.

5. Tractor traffic jams.

6. Snowplows appear out of thin air and stack snowbanks taller than your truck.

7. Spring potholes turn driving into an Olympic slalom event.

8. Every third car is a Subaru being held together by duct tape and hope.

9. Vermonter “shortcuts” = longer routes with a more scenic view.

10. Tourist season: watching leaf-peepers drive Route 100 is free entertainment.

What’s the most “Vermont” thing YOU’VE seen on the road?

Alright folks, it’s finally here — the BBQ Bracket. Sixty-four of the best BBQ meats, sandwiches, sides, and desserts battling it out for the ultimate crown. Yes, I let ChatGPT make the rankings (so blame the robot, not me). Did I tweak a couple things? Absolutely — I live in New England, so you better believe the Lobster Roll made the cut.

Now, before you say ‘you forgot this’ or ‘that should’ve been higher,’ remember: I left 99% of this to AI because I didn’t want to be biased. That means there will be heartbreakers, shocking upsets, and a few food fights in the comments.

But when it’s all said and done, we’ll know the one true BBQ champion — the plate you can walk into any cookout with and say, ‘this is perfection.’ If a BBQ doesn’t serve at least one of these 64? Leave immediately and call the authorities.

So with that said… Game 1 is on: #1 seed Beef Brisket vs. #16 seed Beef Short Ribs. Let’s go.

I was on my way home from work a couple of weeks ago when my mom called, “Any chance you want to stop by for dinner and also pick up Mama Pho’s for your parents?” Obviously I was in, this is double grilled chicken and not pictured are the spring rolls I got that barely made it out of the parking lot.

Below is a picture of the ice cream that I got from The Village Scoop.

That’s right, it’s already gone.

I could eat pizza every day of my life if it was socially acceptable and meant I wouldn’t weigh 700 pounds.

Not once, not twice, but thrice, that’s right, THRICE times at Scoop Deck in six days. If I lived here, I’d probably be stopping by every day and would definitely know too many people by name.

I couldn’t go to Maine for a week and not get Congdon's Doughnuts, I went for the deal and got the Baker’s Dozen so I could share a couple with my family.
