When the hubs and I drove to Burlington, VT to look for an apartment back in August 2012 we passed through Waterbury, a humble little town about 20 minutes from the city that had a sweet smelling restaurant called Prohibition Pig. Ever since that first sweet sniff we talked about stepping inside. It was a rainy, cold Saturday and with nothing to do we decided to make the trek. Immediately upon viewing the menu I saw "Craft Macaroni & Cheese" and knew what had to be done. Made with VT baby swiss and Cabot clothbound sharp cheddars, campenelli noodles and topped with crushed biscuit crumbs, this shit was divine. The sauce was perfectly gooey and never too cheesy, I dare say it was an experience not unlike a hearty stew or perfect steak. It was both salty and sweet, crunchy and succulent, sassy and full of attitude. I tried to balance the meal with a wedge salad, which turned out to have the most perfect blue cheese crumbles I've ever eaten. Chris had the "Pro Pig", a sandwich made with a triple threat of pork patty, pulled bbq pork, and bacon topped with slaw. We topped our meal with the banana pudding for desert, but plan to go back to try the bourbon maple bacon Ice cream. I should also note my amazing beer cocktail, made (I think) with whiskey, cucumbers, simple syrup, lime, and Hill Farmstead Edward Pale Ale. For real dudes, I have a new favorite restaurant. So you should probably come visit Vermont. :)
