when seth and i visited burlington, vermont over fourth of july weekend we were treated to lots of nature, a beautiful bed and breakfast and some seriously friendly people. what we didn't expect was to eat one of the best meals we have ever had.
this heaven sent meal led to some reminiscing about the best meals we have had over the course of our time together. five years if you can believe it! and here are our conclusions (in no particular order):
1. Hen of the Wood, Waterbury, Vermont.
2. Minetta Tavern, New York, New York
3. Beast, Portland, Oregon
4. Girl and the Goat, Chicago, Illinois
5. La Bourgogne, Mendoza, Argentina
6. Elote Cafe, Sedona, Arizona
why six? there was no rhyme or reason behind it, these are just the meals that made us stand up and salute. criteria? we choose meals that we believed were, start to finish, food to service to ambiance (which does not necessarily mean fancy), as perfect as a meal can get. this does not include great restaurants with our favorite dishes (that list will be saved for another day). we felt that each dish that we ate at each of these restaurants was memorable and unique and we couldn't think of a single thing to complain about with any of them. interestingly enough, we didn't even need to debate or think about it very long. i would highly recommend any of these restaurants. and ask seth to make you a reservation - somehow he can get reservations for restaurants that are normally booked for years. i think it is his superhero power.
