Yeah, this was kind of my sentiment and then I got downvoted into oblivion. I used to work in Rutland and after 12-hour days it was nice to be able to roll through the drive through at Little Caesar's and get a pizza for dirt-cheap that wasn't great but scratched the pizza itch. My town has two pizza places: one that is open pretty much whenever they feel like it, and another that has pizza that is really lacking in quality. I have to drive to the next town over to get a decent pizza, and it costs me about $17 plus the gas to get there and back. I travel for work now, and Vermont's restaurant scene is bad. Even the places that you think are locally owned and sourced are run by shysters getting a weekly delivery from Sysco. Vermont just has a nice, local veneer over our crappy food rather than a corporate logo.
