Pancakes with a side of sourdough toast please
If you find yourself anywhere near Southern Vermont, don’t miss The Blue Benn. I grew up eating at this spot. Even though I live states away now, it’s the first stop I make coming into town for a visit, and the last stop before I leave. You’ll be hooked too. I promise.
What to expect, relish every minute of, and other great things about Sonny’s Blue Benn Diner:
*Locals, locals, locals
*Endless handwritten items on paper place mats taped up all over the walls.
*No website.
*Cash only or gold boullion only. (Yes-it really says that on a hand written sign on the door.) Love it.
*Vermont white cheddar cheese and syrup. Those and about 100 other homemade delectables like cinnamon rolls, doughnuts, pies and jam.
*A wait to sit in one of the 6 booths-almost any day of the week.
*Smiling waitresses, even though they’re a little peeved sometimes that you didn’t wait in the foyer even though they told you to and there is a huge STOP sign on the door to enter. Pay attention first timers!
*Juke boxes at every table. Yes-they work. Two songs for a quarter.
*Occasional celeb sightings. Not that the staff there or any locals care, but it’s nice to know even Gwyneth Paltrow can appreciate a delicious pancake. She’s been to the Blue Benn.
Stop in for breakfast. It’s worth every second you might have to wait and your belly will be glad you did. Tell Sharon, Lisa, and Pat I said hi and I am coming soon for a grilled corn muffin.
