27/02/10 Bove’s (Vermont)

I saw this place on Food Network quite some time ago. We went last year to get some take out, but this year, we dined in. If you are looking for fine dining, find some other place. This place is a bang for your buck, old school style kind of place. There were people with […]

26/02/10 Laughing Moon Chocolates (Vermont)

We stopped by here because of the good chocolates we had at the end of our meal at Solstice. What a cute shop. You could see the girls making chocolate in the back. The chocolates weren’t perfectly shaped which I think is great, shows that they were hand made! We didn’t get there at the […]

26/02/10 Thompson’s Flour Shop Bakery (Vermont)

When we came upon this place, we thought, ‘what a cute little place’. It has about 8 tables and a seating area with a couch and a lounger. It’s like a mom and pop version of Starbucks, Vermont style. There were people just sitting eating lunch, some relaxing over a hot cup of coffee and […]

26/02/10 Pie in the Sky (Vermont)

One word. Yum. This place has some great pizza. Pie in the sky is great for everyone, couples, families, and large groups. A casual pizza place with ample seating. There’s a sun room area, a main dining area, and a bar in the front that you can sit at and watch them make the pizzas […]

26/02/10 Depot Street Malt Shop (Vermont)

  I have been coming here for years. Depot street is a cute little 50’s style diner in town. They have booth and table seating and a ice cream bar in the back by the soda fountain. Soda fountains are a  thing of the past and people love the nostalgia of it. They have a […]

24/02/10 Harvest Market (Vermont)

This might be my new favorite place in Vermont. They are a great little shop that has gourmet cheese, fresh baked goods, and great specialty items. It is like Russo’s or Verrill Farms. They are a bit on the pricey side but that’s what you get when you are talking specialty items. They have organic […]

24/02/10 The Shed (Vermont)

I have been going to the Shed for about 15 years. I love their hamburgers. 6oz of meat served on a toasted english muffin-delicious!! I had been searching for their website online but only came across reviews for the place. They weren’t good for the most part. (Trip Advisor, Pubcrawler, Frommers, Yelp ) I always […]

24/02/10 Vermont Brownie Company

Everyone knows that I’m a Food Network junkie. I had been watching a Throwdown with Bobby Flay marathon and saw the Vermont Brownie Company on it. The premise of the show is that Bobby Flay challenges people who are the best at what they do. So one week it could be brownies, another Belgium Waffles […]

23/02/10 Cliff House (Vermont)

There was a lot of confusion about the Cliff House restaurant. You take the gondola up to the summit (3,625 feet) from the base of the mountain. There are signs when you drive up the mountain-pull into the parking lot on the left hand side. There is a gondola from the Stowe Mountain Lodge, but […]

23/02/10 Butler’s Restaurant and Tavern (Vermont)

Essex is about 10 minutes from Burlington. The Essex hotel is part of the culinary institute, students make all the food that is served in the restaurant. The hotel is charming. Butler’s tavern is the casual lunch area, the formal area I assume is only for dinner. I had heard mixed reviews about this place. […]
