The Guilty Plate Diner in Colchester reopened under new ownership in September 2022. This hour, Vermont Edition airs a recent Brave Little State on staffing and the local restaurant industry.

What happened to all the restaurant workers? This was the winning question asked by Khrista Trerotola of Waitsfield on a recent episode of Brave Little State. We'll listen to the full episode on today's Vermont Edition and follow that with a conversation between host Connor Cyrus and a local restaurant owner about their own staffing story.

Our guest:

  • Allison Stratton, co-owner of Stone's Throw Pizza in Fairfax, Charlotte, Richmond, and Waterbury

Broadcast Friday, Jan. 6, at noon.
