Food Porn.

We're on vacation in Burlington, Vermont right now. Last night the b.h. and I consumed the best food we've had in ages from This place. We shared a cheese plate (all local, all fabulous, with figs and carmelized onions and lilac infused local honey), I had the strawberry spinach salad with pecans and local gorgonzola, the b.h. had duck confit, and I had the Moroccan grilled tofu plate, and we shared a (decidedly *not* wafer thin) warm lemon bread pudding. When we finally hoisted ourselves from the table, we waddled back to our rental car and returned immediately to our hotel to fall down.
I will have more to report later, but for now we're off to the local brewery.

Open Tuesday to Saturday, so you never book in and are disappointed because it's the chef's night off.

The menu looks fabulous. If ever I visit Vermont...

We didn't make a reservation, because we had no idea. Just found it on the internet and it was in a tiny town five miles away from our hotel. When we walked in and saw the special board, my face lit up like Christmas. The bartender saw me and made sure they found a place to put us. It was indescribable.
