The Vermont Country Deli

Vermont Country Deli Is the New England Spot Two Bon Appetit Editors Can’t Stop Talking About | Bon Appétit

"A beloved roadside deli in Brattleboro that’s a must-stop on Vermont trips, famous among regulars for its quirky “dip chicken” — essentially battered, fried sesame-style chicken served cold straight from the deli case. Sandwiches are a highlight, from the Vermont Veggie’s careful construction of pickles, sprouts, generous hunks of Cabot cheddar on pillowy marbled rye with hummus and honey mustard, to the towering Route 9 Roast Beef stacked with cheddar, tomatoes and roast beef brightened by horseradish sauce. The dessert case delivers too (giant chocolate chip cookies and an enviable peanut butter cookie), and the shop is packed “to the nines” with thoughtfully curated Vermont-made goods like Fable Farm and Champlain Valley ciders, goat milk caramels, craft beer, maple candy, local honey, Walpole ice cream and coffee from a local roastery — perfect provisions for a road trip." - ByAmanda Shapiro
