Vermont is known for its maple syrup and for good reason, but there is so much more to VT dining than just syrup and Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. Let’s take a look at a few of the exceptional things that we have perfected in the Green Mountain State. These items are a definite must eat when in VT!
- Truffle Fries

- Mac & Cheese

- Fresh Eggs

- Apple Pie

- Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

- Cheddar Ale Soup.
