Vermont Mustard Co.
Week: Thur. June 9th and 16th

“Is this just another gimmicky chain?” I asked myself, while perusing through shelves stocked with unusual retail products, all from Vermont: Fox Meadow Farm, Northeast Kingdom and Bove’s pasta sauce. But when I picked up the cheaply printed menu boasting specialty sandwiches strictly constructed with only McKenzie Meats, it struck me that this was just a bizarre owner with a strange infatuation with all food products Vermont.

Okay, I'll go out on a limb and guess -- perhaps a displaced Vermonter?

Cool. These are the type places and faces that make our eating scene here in Atlanta so interesting.

According to owner Derek McKenny, Vermont Mustard Company, located on Cumberland Pkwy approximately one mile from Muss & Turner’s; is the only place in Atlanta offering McKenzie Meat products. And you guessed it – turkey and ham are all honey and/or maple cured.

Breakfast sandwiches, one of life’s many great pleasures, arrive decked with nothing but McKenzie maple cured bacon and sausage served on buttery croissants.

Everything in this store is Vermont, from the sandwiches to the chips and sodas, right down to the McKenzie hot dogs with natural casings. I didn’t even know that McKenzie produced hot dogs with natural casings, until now. I believe there’s space in any neighborhood for somebody willing to sell hot dogs with natural casings.

This humble twelve-table storefront is perfectly designed. Somehow, the semi-hip light fixtures and rich hues work well with the light wooded tables and country feel.

Now, that inevitable question: Muss & Turner’s or Vermont Mustard Co.? I guess it just depends what I’m in the mood for that day...and how much I wanna spend.
