At J.J. Hapgood, a Dream Dining Spot in the Comfort of a Country Store
Maxim Magazine has recently given us props as the ultimate day-after a hangover food in our area! Available until 3pm or “until biscuits run out,” the bacon egg and cheese—with Vermont cheddar, of course—at J.J. Hapgood is the delicious cure for what ails you.
J.J. Hapgood General Store & Eatery is one of the winners of the Best Vermonter Sandwich category in the USA TODAY 10Best Readers’ Choice travel award contest. You can see the full list of winners at http://www.10best.com/awards/travel/best-vermonter-in-vermont/.
Diners craving a Vermonter will find it listed as the Plymouth Hunter on the J.J. Hapgood menu in the town of Peru. This take on the sandwich is made with arugula, caramelized onions, apple, Fox’s mustard and raw cow’s milk cheese on multigrain bread. Ham is optional.
Our BBQ Pulled Pork Pizza hit the Vermont Fresh Network’s top Ten Pizzas in Vermont!
“Historically, J.J. Hapgood has been the longest continuously running general store in Vermont. Owner Juliette Britton grew up in Peru and, with her husband Tim, revived the beloved grocery, eatery and community gathering space. They feature mouth-watering, wood-fired pizzas on their locally sourced menu. The BBQ Pulled Pork pie features Sugar Bob’s Smoked Maple Syrup, Plymouth Hunter Cheese, and Vermont-Grown Pork.”
J.J. Hapgood General Store is featured as one of the 21 Best Breakfast Sandwiches In The Country by Thrillist.com! As quoted in the article, “…there’s so much going on with their breakfast sandwich that they literally had to draw a diagram. Everything’s local, from the eggs to the sausage to the bacon to the cheddar, and you best believe they don’t skimp on produce like garden-fresh leafy greens. But the real star of the show is the homemade biscuit, which continues the homegrown theme by using flour, butter, and buttermilk all sourced in the Green Mountain State”.
Yahoo.com Food even picked up the story to shine a spotlight on the delicious delicacies of these top-tier breakfast sandwiches!
Vermont Life Magazine included J.J. Hapgood General Store in a recent article in their Food & Drink section!
