Persistence and Passion
The Mad Taco stays focused on food despite flood and fire
Following floods and fire, the Montpelier location of The Mad Taco is back to feeding Vermonters hungry for something delicious.
“It’s not perfect, but we couldn’t wait any longer to be open,” said Joey Nagy, co-owner of the four restaurants, along with Wes Hamilton.
The Montpelier location has been closed for the last 15 months after the building suffered back-to-back damage from flood and fire.
In July 2023, the Winooski River reached its second-highest recorded level, filling Montpelier with waist-deep water and destroying thousands of homes and businesses.
The next day, Nagy says he inspected the restaurant’s damage and set plans in motion to scrap everything and begin again.
Nagy says, as he was surveying the damage, he knew that it wasn’t worth sorting through the wreckage. With contaminated water still seeping through the building, everything had to go.
After cleaning and repairs, The Mad Taco reopened in October 2023 — for just six days.
Nagy says he had just finished reading his children a bedtime story when he got the call.
The Mad Taco was on fire.
This time, rebuilding took longer. The fire structurally damaged the roof, and with
winter coming, it was too risky to remove the roof or do anything while snow weighed on charred rafters. Construction began in the next spring and went on through the summer.
Despite a few missing pieces, and the wrong ceiling tiles, The Mad Taco re-reopened in October 2024.
“It’s amazing,” Nagy says. “It’s fantastic.”
While some might think that rebuilding back-to-back disasters is madness, Nagy says it was a matter of connection.
“We’ve been a part of this community for a long time,” he says.
And while the recovery has been
“We’ve been a part of this community for a long time.”

challenging, Nagy recognizes that some fared worse.
“There’s nothing irreplaceable here,” Nagy says, noting many others lost personal, sentimental belongings. “The floods and fires are terrible when it’s someone’s home, but with a business, it’s not as devastating.”
In addition to the Montpelier restaurant, which opened in 2012, The Mad Taco has locations in Waitsfield, Middlebury and Essex Junction.
Nagy was working at Montpelier’s Three Penny Taproom, also owned by Hamilton, when he learned a restaurant in Waitsfield was for sale. That became the first Mad Taco location in 2010.
He grew up in California, spending time working in kitchens where the chefs would make off-menu, Latin American cuisine for the staff dinners. Those dishes are what fueled his desire to open a taco business.
“I just really feel in love with it,” Nagy says.
The Mad Taco’s menu has evolved in the last decade and now includes a Southern barbecue flair to the Latin American/Mexicaninspired dishes. Nagy says The Mad Taco has
three smokers that they use for all the meat.
And there’s a hint of Vermont in there as well. While maple is not a common Latin American ingredient, The Mad Taco finds ways to use it in their recipes, from smoking meat with maple wood to using maple syrup on their pork rub.
Nagy says his philosophy is to take the best ingredients and not mess them up.
In the middle of opening restaurants, Nagy and partner Georgia von Trapp bought the 297-acre Marble Hill Farm in 2014. That farm grows much of the restaurants’ ingredients.
The restaurants use antibiotic-free, ethically raised meats.
For ingredients beyond what the farm can provide, they try to source products locally.
“We do the best we can with local products,” he says. It is a point of pride to make delicious meals with high-quality ingredients.
“We just want to make really good food and have fun,” Nagy says.
While the four locations have pretty much the same menu, Nagy says each location gets creative with its specials, so you might be able to find something unique at each spot.
The Mad Taco's menu blends Latin American flavors with Southern-style smoked meats, so you can pair dishes with spirits from tequila to bourbon.
When it comes to getting a drink with your dinner, margaritas, tequila and mezcals are popular choices to pair with tacos. Nagy estimates about 80% of the mixed drinks they serve fall into the margarita category.
But because of the smoked meat and barbecue-fusion quality of the food, other spirits pair well, too. Have a rum and Coke with the special Big Daddy Fatty, a house-made pita, with your choice of smoked meat, Cabot jack
cheese, guacamole and coleslaw.
The Mad Hatter occasionally offers halfand full-racks of ribs, with which a bourbon or Scotch pairs well.
“It’s there to complement the food,” Nagy says of their drinks.
And that’s something worth toasting.
The Mad Taco’s locations are open seven days a week from noon to 8 p.m. On Christmas Eve, they will close at 4 p.m., and they will be closed on Christmas Day.

Celebrate the Season
With a chill in the air (and maybe snow on the ground), it’s time for Vermonters to eat, drink and be merry. For many who live in the Green Mountain State, that includes hunting for the perfect evergreen to cut down, bring home, and decorate with lights and ornaments. It’s a tradition in many families to gather as a household to pick the “perfect” tree, though what that means can vary. Perhaps you’re looking for a tree with lots of natural beauty, a testament to its environment. Maybe it’s a strong, hardy tree that will be host to hundreds of baubles and bells. Perhaps, you prefer something of a “Charlie Brown tree,” sparse in branches but filled with character. If you’re looking for a place to choose and cut your own tree, here’s a sample of some of the farms and forests where you can do so. After you’re done, mix up a festive cocktail to enjoy while you unbox your decorations.
The Russell Farm
Starksboro
A sweet place to grab maple syrup in the spring or cuts of beef is also the place to find a Christmas tree. You can cut a tree in the South Lot during the weekend that follows Thanksgiving, or select a pre-cut tree at the main farm. Horse-drawn sleigh rides are available on the December weekends with advance appointments requested.
Homemade wreaths and garlands are available, too. This apres-ski cocktail, essentially a boozy hot chocolate, also lends itself well to apres-tree cutting.
Rumplesnuggler
1 ½ ounces Bailey’s Irish cream liqueur
1 ounce Rumple Minze peppermint schnapps
8 ounces hot chocolate
Whipped cream
Candy cane or peppermint stick for garnish (optional)
Add hot water to an Irish Coffee mug, to warm. Then, discard the water.
Pour Bailey’s, Rumple Minze and hot chocolate into the mug.
Top with whipped cream. Add peppermint stick, if preferred.
Elysian Hills
Dummerston
The certified organic Christmas tree farm is located on the 138-acre Walker Farm. About 100 acres of the conserved property are managed woodland, maple sugar logs, wildlife habitat, recreational trails and timber stands. Cut-your-own trees will be available from Nov. 29 to Dec. 24, weekdays noon to 4 p.m. and weekends 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The main trees available are Balsam and Canaan fir with a choice of heights and fullness. All trees are pre-priced. They also offer fresh Balsam wreaths and greenery; they are fully decorated with real cones, faux berries and decorative ornaments.
Fig and Rosemary Mule
2 fresh figs
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 ½ ounces vodka
1 lime wedge
3 ounces ginger beer
Fill a copper mug with crushed ice or small cubes.
Add one fig and one sprig of rosemary to a cocktail shaker and muddle.
Top with ice, then add vodka and lime juice. Shake.
Strain into the ice-filled mug and top with ginger beer.
Garnish with the remaining fig, sliced, and the remaining rosemary sprig.
Pleasant Valley Tree Farm Bennington
A family farm for over a century, Pleasant Valley was converted to a tree farm from a dairy and chicken operation in the 1950s. They grow 30,000 trees in a rotation from 4-year-old transplants to 16-year-old trees at harvest. About 2,000 new trees are planted each year. Pre-cut trees, wreaths and other greenery are available for retail sale. “Choose and cut” trees are available for harvesting after Thanksgiving, with daily hours from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Coquito is a Puerto Rican drink, similar to egg nog but without the eggs. Sweet, creamy and spiced, it’s the perfect drink to sip while setting up your decorations.
Coquito (serves 4 to 6)
2 cans coconut cream
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 can evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 to 2 cups rum
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon ground nutmeg
In an electric blender, mix all ingredients on high for about 5 minutes. Refrigerate. Serve cold, top with whipped cream and cinnamon for garnish.
Green Mountain National Forest
Machester Center and Rochester
For those up to the challenge of hauling their tree out of the woods, the Green Mountain National Forest offers Christmas Tree Harvesting Permits for $5. Fourth-graders with an “Every Kid Outdoors” pass can get a holiday tree permit for free. They can be purchased at the Vermont District offices or at recreation.gov. There are designated areas where trees can be harvested that stretch nearly from Vermont’s southern border to as far north as Lincoln. Some additional restrictions apply to the permit. Learn more at fs.usda.gov/main/gmfl/ passes-permits/forestproducts.
Hot Maple Butter Rum
(serves 2)
1 cup apple cider
2 ounces Putney Mountain Simply Maple liqueur
2 ounces rum
2 tablespoons room temp. butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar
½ cup vanilla ice cream
Cinnamon
Thoroughly mix butter and sugar, then add ice cream. Place this mixture in the freezer for at least 20 minutes.
Bring the apple cider to a boil. Then, split the frozen mixture between two mugs, add 1 ounce of rum and 1 ounce of Simply Maple to each.
Top off with the apple cider.
Garnish with a cinnamon stick and enjoy!
VERMONT PRODUCT

Barton
Nestled in the Northeast Kingdom, Testers grows Fraser firs, Balsam firs and hybrids for wholesale and retail. At an elevation of some 2,000 feet, the trees grow hardy with a deep color and good needle retention.

Brochu’s Tree Farm Hardwick
Brochu's Tree Farm welcomes you to wander through its hundreds of Vermont Balsam Fir and Balsam Fraser trees. Back in 2005, Brochu’s Tree Farm planted about 200 trees to start its Christmas tree farm. They now have more than 2,000 trees and continue to plant more annually. They will have pre-cut Christmas trees with limited “choose and cut” trees. Last year they sold out. It will open for the season starting the Saturday after Thanksgiving weekends from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Stop by the heated barn for some hot cocoa and cookies as you enjoy the smell of fresh balsam from handmade wreaths, garland and kissing balls.
Poinsettia Champagne
½ ounce orange liqueur
3 ounces cranberry juice
3 ounces Champagne
Fresh cranberries and rosemary sprig for garnish
Add orange liqueur and cranberry juice to a champagne flute and stir well.

Moffatt’s Tree Farm Craftsbury
Moffatt’s Tree Farm is a fourthgeneration family business in the Northeast Kingdom, a region of the state that is still mostly rural and undeveloped.
The land has been in the family since the 1930s when it was a dairy farm run by Bob and Eila Moffatt. Over time, maple sugaring and tree farming joined the operations.
“Choose and cut” tree harvesting will be open from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily from Friday after Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve. There are plenty of saws for your use, and they will happily wrap your tree for you to make it easier to transport home. Trees are $7 per foot, and cash or check only.

Danville

In addition to Christmas tree production, it grows landscaping and landscaping plant collection, wildlife protection, reclamation of old structures, recreation and education. This farm specializes in organic and sustainably grown Christmas trees. It is open weekends after Thanksgiving through mid-December.

JUST FOR FUN
What Your Sweater Says You Should Drink
Fair Isle
Made from an in-the-round knitting technique, Fair Isle sweaters are an invention of the Shetland Islands. Delicate and intricate patterns make their way down from the neckline, giving the illusion of a collar. This style of sweater shows you appreciate the little details that go into the holiday season. Tying bountiful bows on your wreaths, yes. Handwriting notes in your greeting cards, for sure. Making sure you have the secret ingredient for the family recipe, absolutely.
YOU SHOULD DRINK: Brandy
Brandy is a liquor made from distilling wine, often grape or apple, and aged in barrels for at least two years. With sweetness and a rich, oaky flavor, brandy is big on the little details too.
Selburose
Argyle Knit
While this pattern is often seen on the golf course, it dates back to the 1600s in the Western Scottish district of Agryll. This sweater style shows you’re distinguished, perhaps trying to emulate the members of the British royal family who helped popularize it.
YOU SHOULD DRINK: Scotch
The peaty flavor and charred notes of Scotch help connect the heritage of this whisky and argyle to their home country. Bread notes, nutty, or cereal flavor, and some vanilla aromas complete the experience. It’s no-nonsense, just like you.
Fisherman’s
In a Norwegian style of knitting, the selburose shape is a rose pattern made of eight diamond shapes. The snowflake-like pattern has become an international symbol of Norway, Scandinavia more generally, Christmas, and winter.
Much like Santa while he’s on vacation, this style is imbued with Christmas spirit, but not showy about it. This sweater style shows you embrace the snowy season and the true meaning of the season.
YOU SHOULD DRINK: Vodka
Originating in countries with lengthy winters, vodka is traditionally served chilled, embracing the cold. A good vodka will have a refined taste with herbal and earthy tones, much like the nod to nature with the rose design of the selburose sweater.
“Tacky” or novelty
Once only the wardrobe of overly festive grandmas, the tacky, or “ugly” Christmas sweater has seen a huge following in recent years. And they aren’t exclusive to Christmas either: Halloween, Thanksgiving and political themes are available. Silly, funny and some downright impractical, this sweater shows you’re coming to the party to have a good time.
YOU SHOULD DRINK: Tequila
Tequila is ready to party with only salt and lime, but it’s not afraid to get more dressed up to celebrate either. Margaritas are always a crowd-pleaser. A tequila sunrise is festive and bright. Palomas take advantage of grapefruit’s winter seasonality.
This thick, textured sweater is designed to keep fishermen warm on the coldest days, while still allowing movement. This sweater style hails from Ireland and is often made with wool, so it stays warm even when wet. This sweater indicates you’re hardworking and practical.
YOU SHOULD DRINK: Gin
While Ireland is often known for its whiskey, or maybe Bailey’s Irish Crème, it also produces a notable quantity of gins. Native botanicals from the Emerald Isle help those gin brands stand out. While you can sip the gin on its own, it’s a workhorse in cocktail recipes forming the foundation of recipes from a gin and tonic to martini to gimlet.
