Reply to comment by waitsfieldjon in If you had to pick one restaurant in the greater BTV area which would be your favorite? (Pick 1) Why is it your favorite? Is it the food, atmosphere, people? by thegateway_way

I still have a Carburs menu and have often thought about recreating each sandwich for kicks, with the exception of Lady Chatterley's Liver, I couldn't stomach that one.

A copy of that must be gold. Mind sharing?

I only ate (and drank beer of course) there once or twice before it closed. It might be one of the few exceptions to the rule that huge menu = very mediocre food.

Thank you so much for this! I shall name my firstborn "Carburs-truckingon" to properly honor you.

This menu has so much more than the one I have. Their food definitely became more and more mediocre as time passed. In the early to mid-80s, I loved eating there. We used to go from the bank to Carburs a lot for lunches in the late 80s, early 90s. But a few years before they shut down, they definitely weren't the same.

At some point, I can circle back and do so. I have a scanner, but it's not set up right now, so it would have to be photos from a phone. The link below isn't the one I have. The one I have is smaller and has a section of alcoholic beverages. I think the date on it was 1980.

Someone posted a link to a Johnson and Wales web page that has it in this thread.
