"Plan a little road trip 60 miles southwest of Boston to Sturbridge: B.T.’s Smokehouse is a worthy destination, featuring meats slow-smoked over apple and hickory, available in sandwiches, platters with sides and cornbread, and more. Watch for dishes like andouille dog bites and sticky rib tips, too. (Near Worcester? Check out the restaurant’s younger sibling, B.T.’s Fried Chicken & BBQ, which also features fried chicken, as the name suggests.)" - Valerie Li Stack, Rachel Leah Blumenthal
