Eleven Madison Park

Posted in lunch out, tagged on September 20, 2009 | 5 Comments »

I decided to take Jenn out for an early birthday lunch, as she was visiting NYC. Ever since Frank Buni upgraded Eleven Madison Park to a four-star rating, I had been wanting to try it out. So, I made a reservation and there we were alongside businessmen and ladies who lunch. The meal was flawless, [...]

The first time I ate at Sushi Seki in midtown, I had just moved back to NYC after a year in Hong Kong. It was my first time living on my own in NYC and I was gushing with excitement to try anything and everything the city I was born and raised in had to [...]

For one of our last dinners in Vermont we went to Mary’s Restaurant at the Inn at Baldwin Creek. Mary’s menu uses ingredients sourced from small local farms as well as their own garden. They serve dinner from Wednesday to Saturday, and Sunday breakfast. Mary’s Chef, Doug Mack, was a founder and first president of [...]

Not pizza, flatbread

Posted in dinner out, vermont, tagged on September 9, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Dave’s parents came up for our last few days in Vermont. The six of us went to a Waitsfield institution, American Flatbread. I had been once before last ski season and was excited for more fresh-out-of-the-wood-fired-clay-oven creations. The lines at Flatbread are notorious (they don’t take reservations), but as long as you show up early you [...]

Maple doughnut heaven

Posted in biweekly photo, sweets, vermont, tagged , , on September 8, 2009 | 1 Comment »

I didn’t realize this, but a few Google searches later, it seems that the search for the best maple doughnut in Vermont is akin to that for the best bagel in NYC. I can now officially contribute to the discourse and say that I have found it, at the Big Picture Theater and Cafe in Waitsfield. [...]

Lobster for five

Posted in dinner out, vermont, tagged , , on September 6, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

During the summer, Timbers restaurant (at Sugarbush resort) hosts a lobster dinner on Wednesdays and Thursdays. For $25, you get a 1 1/4 pound lobster, steamed mussels, red bliss potatoes, and summer corn. And it all comes in a bucket. Compared to NYC prices, this is a steal. One of my parents friends, Bobbie, was up [...]

King Arthur Flour

We had to drive back to NYC for one night so that I could work at the restaurant. On our way home, we stopped by the King Arthur Flour Baker’s Store in Norwich, Vermont. The Norwich campus houses both the store, their flagship, and the education center where they offer a wide array of baking classes. [...]

Ben & Jerry’s factory tour

Posted in sweets, vermont, tagged , on September 3, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Yes, we did the Ben & Jerry’s factory tour. When in Vermont… Our $3, 20-minute tour started in front of these two boards: their economic mission and a wall of flavors. We watched a short video detailing the history of the company, which is no longer owned by Ben and Jerry, and proceeded to an [...]

The Green Cup, Waitsfield, Vermont

Posted in lunch out, vermont, tagged on September 1, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

We decided to spend Dave’s last week before school in Vermont with my parents. Having only seen the town of Waitsfield under several inches of snow, I was pleasantly surprised at how charming it is. I had made it my goal to cook a lot while in Vermont, to get back on track after our [...]
