VPR Cafe: Waterbury Makes A Culinary Comeback

When Tropical Storm Irene hit Vermont, it hit Waterbury hard - wiping out the state office complex and the jobs that filled it. The small town's economy was temporarily erased. But now, a variety of restaurants and pubs have put Waterbury back on the map. Sally Pollak, who writes for The Burlington Free Press Savorvore Section, tells us about the culinary delights she discovered there... and asks "Why do tacos have two flour tortillas?"

The VPR Cafe is produced in collaboration with The Burlington Free Press and is made possible on VPR by the Vermont Community Foundation Food and Farm Initiative.

Franny was VPR's Director of Programming & Production.
Ric was a producer for Vermont Edition and host of the VPR Cafe.
