The Spot
Surfing and Vermont aren't two things that usually go together -- but try to tell a Southern Californian that. When Roxanne and Russ Scully left Santa Barbara for Burlington in 1997, they found neither waves nor a breakfast spot that was up to snuff.
California swells could not be found, but breakfast? They took care of it.
"We purchased this gas station knowing it would be a perfect place to run a restaurant," said Russ Scully. "And when it came to decor, we poured our stoke for surfing into the place."
Housed in a 1950s service station, the Spot does feel like an oasis from the harsh Vermont winters. Surfboards, plants and ocean blues light up the beachy interior, and the locally-sourced menu has a Hawaiian bend, with fish tacos and sandwiches named after surfing terms and destinations.
