For us meat lovers, the world is looking up. First brunch returned at Souza’s – by the way, since going back to its regular price, the offerings have greatly expanded. My brunch there two weeks ago was their best yet! – now hog hogs can get their fill at Finkerman’sBarbecue. Well, sort of.
From now until May 3, Ariel’s Riverside Café and Bar is offering the Finkerman’s menu as a special. I am planning on heading to Montpelier at least once to chow down on my favorite pulled pork sandwich ever. I hope they have their local cheddar mac and cheese, always so sharp and creamy. What I know the Fink-Dubermans will be offering is bottles of their trademark barbecue sauce in regular and hot. I will have to make an investment in more than one bottle of the smoky, vinegary and just-spicy-enough hot variety. My heart is beating faster just thinking about it. See you there?
