New England culinary delights
I returned from my vacation yesterday, but I thought I would share some of the interesting food, drinks, breweries and restaurants I ran into while in the USA.
- The Vermont Pub & Brewery in Burlington. If you go there for just one thing, get their Cheese & Gravy fries. They’re delicious. Other good things on their list include the Jalapeno poppers and Buffalo Style chicken fingers. Their brewfries (beer-battered) are pretty tasty as well. Their own microbrews are definitely recommendable, especially the smoked stout (smoked over maple, hickory and applewood).
- The Magic Hat brewery in South Burlington. They have regular tours available and their artifactory sells a variety of merchandise. But most important is their tap (of course). They have a variety of beers available for tasting here and you can also buy “growlers“, which is a great way to bring home some of their beers that they don’t sell in stores.
- Quiznos. Even though it’s a chain restaurant, I like it better than Subway. I think they’re subs are more varied and tastier than the ones at Subway.
- Tiny Thai in Winooski, VT. This is a small restaurant, be prepared for a wait. The food makes up for it though. Tasty food, generous portions. If you like Thai food, you’ll love this place. Their Tom Yam is delicious.
- Henry’s Diner in Burlington. This place has great food. I can definitely recommend the Philly Cheese Steak skillet breakfast. Bring a good appetite, though. It’s a big plate of food.
Overall I had my fill of typical New England food (and some Thai) over the weeks of my vacation and I found some places I will surely want to visit again.
