ribs in vermont

Are you perhaps thinking of a roadside stand in Putney run by Curtis Tuff? I haven't lived there in 15 yrs and can't remember the name, but Curtis is rather justifiably renowned for his BBQ.

Hi,

Curtis' Barbecue is the place in question.  Last time I was there, it was two buses and a picnic area.  Curtis is a true master, and cooks over a wood fire.  It is located in Putney, VT.  I-91 Exit 4, near the MA border.  I am certain it is exit 4, but I would consult a map to be sure.  Once off the exit, there is an auto body shop and a gas station right there.  Curtis is located behind them.  You will usually see telltale smoke to guide you.  When I lived in New Haven, it was not unreasonable to drive a few hours, salivating all the way, just to eat ribs and chicken as only Curtis can make them.  His ribs are state-of-the-art.

Enjoy,

h
