The 14 Best New Restaurants in America in 2024 | Eater

"Cindi Kozak and chef Jordan Ware—both veterans of Hen of the Wood—call this simply “a Vermont restaurant,” and they make the case for Vermont in unabashed, homespun style: a cozy, convivial dining room that feels like a residential home and a constantly changing seasonal menu sourced from nearby farms. Recent plates ranged from asparagus with blue crab, green garlic vinaigrette, and crème fraîche to roasted oysters with poblano‑shallot butter and pickled sweet corn; a consistent standout has been a steaming bowl of tender littleneck clams heaped with pickled zucchini and jalapeños (or seasonal pepper alternates). Desserts always include a famous Vermont creemee spun with the crop of the moment, and the bar stocks rare Hill Farmstead beers, making the spot a transcendent example of New England seasonality done right." - Eater Staff
