These oysters are pretty self-explanatory. Just a delicious sea creature.

Hen of the Wood, a classic downtown Burlington, VT eatery, offers $1 Oysters every night from 4-5 pm, a deal any shellfish-aficionado should be gawking at!

Pictured here is the Duck Breast at the Gryphon Restaurant in Burlington. If you’re a duck (meat) lover, this is the dish for you.

The meat was exquisitely cooked; tender and just the right amount of pink. The accompanying lingonberry sauce is the perfect balance for the duck’s richness, and also creates a unique flavor pairing with the almond-speckled wild rice and green beans. Once again, The Gryphon impresses by putting a sophisticated spin on a classic fare.

This is the NY Strip Steak from the Gryphon Restaurant, in downtown Burlington, Vermont.

This steak contained an absolutely perfect combination of fresh flavor and simplicity. It wasn’t over the top, the chef wasn’t trying to do too much or win any Michelin Stars. Yet the details of this dish are what make it stand out. The dollop of red wine-infused herb butter elevates the steak into uncharted territories for Burlington. The garlic mashed potatoes that lie beneath it are nothing short of what dreams are made of. All in all, this meal is classic bistro fare executed perfectly.

A healthy portion of Pho- with white vermicelli noodles and rare beef meatballs. This bowl hails from a tiny (but mighty) little place in Winooski, VT called Pho Dang. However, I call them by their rightful name, Pho ‘DANK’

Pictured is the Sushi Boat for Two, from one of my favorite restaurants in the Burlington, Vermont area...Koto Japanese Steakhouse! This place is a hidden gem on an otherwise unexciting, chain-restaurant filled strip known as Shelburne Road in S. Burlington. 

Koto offers both hibachi dining and traditional sushi options, which always proves to be the most difficult decision of the night.
