🔥 Burlington's Best "White People Food" (That Actually Tastes Good!)

📍 For Those Willing to Embrace Burgers, Beer & Bagels 🍔 Why These Spots Won’t Disappoint ✅ No Mystery Meat: All places use quality ingredients (even if the flavors are simple). ✅ Asian-Friendly Tweaks: Some dishes surprise with subtle spice or umami. ✅ Vibes > Michelin Stars: Cozy pubs, lakeside views, and zero pretension. 🍽️ Where We Ate (& What’s Worth It) 1️⃣ Burlington Beer Company 🍻 • Must-Try: ◦ Dry Rub Chicken Wings: No sauce needed—just crispy, herby, lightly spicy perfection. ◦ Beer Flight: Try "Elaborate Metaphor" (light, citrusy) if you hate bitter beers. 2️⃣ Burlington Bagel Bakery 🥯☕ • Why Go: ◦ Freshly baked bagels (get them toasted with cream cheese). ◦ Unexpectedly great coffee (better than Tim’s!). 3️⃣ The Reservoir (Waterbury) 🍟🥩 • Order This: ◦ Land & Sea Platter: Juicy steak + decent fries (skip the oversalted shrimp). • Skip This: ◦ Weekend dinners (slow service). 4️⃣ Backyard (Stowe) 🌮🍔 • Taco Tip: Ask for extra lime to brighten the flavors. • Burger Hack: Add bacon + fried egg (*upgrade it!). 💡 Honest Advice ⚠️ For Picky Eaters: • Avoid if you need soy sauce/chili oil with every meal. • Good to Know: No real Asian options here—pack snacks if desperate. 🌮 Best "Safe" Dish: • Backyard’s tacos (fresh toppings, decent seasoning). “Not every meal has to be ‘authentic’—sometimes a solid burger + beer is enough!” 🍔✨ #BurlingtonEats #VermontFood #WhitePeopleFood
