I actually laughed out loud at this. I love Vermont but it needs to step up it’s game. It’s all the same, flavorless blobs. Boston/Massachusetts has many different cultures and I grew up trying so many different amazing foods. Vermont is just a lot of people that pretend they know what they are doing in the kitchen.

Hmmm. Interesting take you have.

I’m from the greater NYC area and have lived here for over 15 years. The food is incredible all over the state. Ethnic cuisine is harder to come by, but in some towns there are a plethora of options.

Just to name a few unforgettable restaurants that that come to mind: Hen of the Wood (Waterbury, Burlington), Roots (Rutland), Doc Ponds (Stowe), The Rez or Pro Pig (Waterbury), Three Penny Taproom (Montpelier), The Drake or Twiggs (St. Albans), The Garlic or Preston’s or Choices (Killington, VT). I haven’t traveled through much of southern Vermont but I know there’s some great spots in Manchester and Brattleboro as well.

Idk, just my experience but I’m pretty well traveled and love all food… I just think perhaps you are looking for something else or not looking enough.

Thank you for the suggestions. I’ve lived all over the country and I’ve been lucky to try so many local flavors. I just feel disappointed with the places I’ve tried here. But I’m still looking to try more restaurants and you’ve given me a great list.
