2111 Route 108, Jeffersonville, 777-1540
Where can you find that bad-ass barbecue truck above? Surely, it must be parked somewhere in Burlington’s South End. Sorry, hipsters, you’ll have to pedal pretty far to try Bottomless Pit BBQ, all the way to the hills of Jeffersonville, near Smugglers’ Notch.
Saturday evening around 7 p.m., the elevation had already brought an autumnal chill to the outdoor seating area. Still, packs of kids ran up the green hills and around the fenced-in chickens, giving the place a rural family feel, something like Bread & Butter Farm’s burger nights.
Bottomless Pit is theoretically a barbecue spot, but there were only two smoked options on the menu that evening: pulled pork and brisket. The rest of the bill of fare was given over to burgers, hot dogs and seafood specials.
I scoped out a picnic table on the potted-plant-lined porch leading to the take-out window and got to ordering.
