Ramps are plants, not necessarily restaurants right off the highway (entry/exit ramps).

Hah yes, I just looked again at this headline, thanks for the clarification. Edited to add: Ramps are highly aromatic wild onions that are foraged in natural areas. They're celebrated at festivals throughout West Virginia as heralding the arrival of spring.

At first reading, I assumed that "ramps" meant a slope, used as a more wheel-friendly alternative to stairs.

Good insight, thanks. The article title would be clearer with a reference to foraging or wild onions. It's not obvious at first that it's on Serious Eats.

Useful timing - a bag of ramps arrived in my family's CSA box a couple of days ago. Now I have some idea what we could do with them.
