"B.T.'s Smokehouse, an unassuming roadside restaurant serving some of the best barbecue I've ever eaten, despite being in a region that’s, well, not known for barbecue. Situated between I-84 and I-90, B.T.’s is an ideal pit stop for any drive that takes you up to (or down from) Boston, New Hampshire, or Maine. Brisket is the thing here—smoked for 24 to 30 hours on local apple and hickory wood. You can order it à la carte, in a Reuben-style sandwich, or—my favorite—on a platter with classic sides like collard greens and mac and cheese." - ByAmanda Shapiro
