Pigs in a volk

A VW fanatic’s loss is a barbecue fanatic’s gain here in Stowe, Vermont. Drive up Vermont’s famously scenic Route 100 and you’ll come across the Carbecue outside of Snow’s Deli and Market.
The guys who keep the fires burning, Jeff and Mike, tell me they also operate in D.C., but they have no misgivings about taking rare Beetle bugs and turning them into eye-catching barbecue rigs. “My car makes more money than yours,” Jeff told me on my visit today.
I only had time to give the pulled pork a try, and I liked it. A lot. For seven bucks you get a nice healthy pile of wood smoked pork on a simple, soft hamburger bun, the way it should be done. I bristle at the places that put the pork on a bulky or Kaiser roll — too much bread!
One bone of contention: The Carbecue offers a non-distinct supermarket brand of sauce for the sandwich. So, if you see these guys in your travels, hopefully you’ll have some of your own sauce on hand.
