‘A source of happiness:’ Glazed Donuts to take over Leo & Co location

ESSEX TOWN — While Leo & Co’s beloved chicken salad won’t be going anywhere, Glazed Donuts is taking over the space with a new twist. Owner Rachel Lee started Glazed Donuts as a Valentine's Day pop up nine months ago. Between now and then, the business has gained rapid popularity, quickly outpacing Lee’s home kitchen and soon its half of Leo & Co’s kitchen. Seeing as Glazed Donuts had a need for the full space, Kayla Silver, owner of the Essex cafe and market, decided it was time to hand the baton so she can spend more family time as a new mother.

Long-time Burlington BBQ joint closes its doors

Bluebird Barbecue, a Burlington staple for slow-smoked meats, shut down this Halloween. The restaurant was set to serve curbside takeout until closing time on Saturday as a final sendoff. "It's time for Bluebird to say goodbye," owner Sue Bette said in a press release. "We wish Bluebird could continue on, but the conditions just aren't lining up for Bluebird to be Bluebird.” The barbecue restaurant had been roasting brisket, chopping beef and shredding coleslaw at 317 Riverside Ave. since 2012. Customers could chow down menu items like the “Family Reunion,” piled high with hickory-smoked meat that’s been cooking for 15 hours. The cuisine put a local spin on American classics, with maple-doused sauce or butter and pulled-pork poutine. Bluebird’s pitmaster ramen, which combined the burnt ends of slow-smoked brisket with Japanese noodle soup, earned a visit from TV personality and chef Guy Fieri for the popular Food Network show “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives” in 2020. Bette and the rest of the Bluebird Barbecue staff had no further comment on the restaurant’s closure, a representative told the Burlington Free Press last week. "As we send Bluebird off, we want to recognize all the Bluebirds, past and present, whose talent, creativity, and
