An interesting ride through the back hills of southern Vermont yesterday brought us upon "Bessie," the cow. I guess she was making her way up the road after missing the now famous Strolling Of The Heifers Parade in Brattleboro the day before. Seeing a cow walking up the side of the road is still a little strange even in Vermont!
We continued on up rural route 35 until we came to a little corner of the world called Chester. Certainly a quaint little town, or is it a village, where all 10 shops are nestled side by side in an isolated loop street cul de sac in front of the town common. Book store, jewelry store, leather shop, etc... a Vermont kinda mini mall if you will.
I'm not much for cafe's, but this place was a little something different. This was a gift toiletry emporium set inside a general store! Obviously, the flatlanders knew this was the place to stop on their way back to their big city life. The atmosphere was all quaint mosh Vermont,
The Moon Dog Cafe
There were no tye dye pychodelic food names on the menu. Just your standard every day run of the mill sandwiches and salads.
A Simple Menu
Nothing at all fancy about this menu.
Plain Jane but effective.
