Finding a good restaurant in the middle of nowhere is an un-expected blessing, said Mark Bittman in The New York Times. Even more amazing is to discover “a group of restaurants that is not only acceptable but compelling,” all within about 20 miles of one another in north-central Vermont.
Such was the case when I ventured to the area and found myself enjoying fare that could “hold its own anywhere in the world.” All of the restaurants use local ingredients, when possible, and change their menus daily. They prove that dazzling cuisine can be found just about anywhere.
