What is a good restaurant to eat breakfast in Burgos?

Pie for Breakfast in Vermont!

  • "And in Vermont, a Yankee is somebody who eats pie for breakfast." Can you really eat pie for breakfast in Vermont? If so, please help make this dream a reality! Request for restaurant & nearby place to stay. I've heard the https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Yankee#In_the_United_States, but is it really true? Are there people who eat pie for breakfast in Vermont? If it's true, I want to do this. Heck, even if it's not true, I wouldn't mind a great slice of pie (or two!) for my morning meal. I will be driving from Quebec City to Boston in early December with a night's stopover somewhere in Vermont. I'm willing to travel off the highway or out of my direct route. I've never been to VT before. What I'm looking for is: a great, or dare I say the best place in Vermont to eat pie for breakfast. And, hopefully this place will be in or near a beautiful locale. And, ideally, there would be somewhere quaint and nice to stay close by, so that it's not too far a drive to get to breakfast (we usually camp or hostel; cheaper is better, though we don't mind a splurge for a quirky b&b or small hotel; splurge could be up to $100/night). Any ideas? Great pie, great place to eat pie for breakfast, great place to stay? Thanks!

  • Answer:

    You can eat pie for breakfast in any diner in America. Since you'll be on Interstate 91 & 93 in Vermont, I'd just go to Google Maps and do a diner search. The http://www.yelp.com/biz/miss-lyndonville-diner-lyndonville looks like a sure bet.

It's also important to note http://www.leg.state.vt.us/DOCS/2000/ACTS/ACT015.HTM of the 1999 session of the Vermont Legislature: When serving apple pie in Vermont, a "good faith" effort shall be made to meet one or more of the following conditions: (a) with a glass of cold milk, (b) with a slice of cheddar cheese weighing a minimum of 1/2 ounce, (c) with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream.

You want http://www.yelp.com/biz/wayside-restaurant-and-bakery-berlin, just off I-89 between Barre and Montpelier. Fresh pies every morning, ask them what's good today. I recommend rhubarb custard, maple cream or anything with fresh fruit.

What Piro said. When in Vermont, you need apple pie, local cheddar cheese melted on top and a scoop of vanilla. The cheddar cheese is what makes it. Seriously, do this.

Just started rereading it after many years, and came across this, page 28: "Pie has never been more loved than in nineteenth-century America, where it was not simply dessert but also a normal part of breakfast. The food writer Evan Jones quotes a contemporary observer as noting that in northern New England, 'all the hill and country towns were full of women who would be mortified if visitors caught them without pie in the house,' and that the absence of pie at breakfast 'was more noticeable than the scarcity of the Bible.'"

If you do end up in East Burke for lunch or dinner, there are two other good restos there, within a short walk of the Village Inn on the main road through East Burke: The River Garden and Willy's.

You guys are all fantastic - thanks! And I am so glad to know about the cheddar cheese and apple pie thing. I have never heard of that before ever, and would have never thought to do it, but it sounds absolutely delicious. And I'm so glad to know my rights concerning the serving of pie with cheese, milk and ice cream (seriously, that is a great Legislative Act). I think we'll try to hit up a couple of these places, perhaps a lunch, dinner and a breakfast across the state. You can never have too much pie, after all. Thanks again for all your suggestions.

The Wayside is a sure winner. It's one of the things I miss most about living in Barre. I've had many a pie there and they're all great! The area isn't particularly picturesque, but it's Vermont... drive five minutes for great views! If you'd like more info on stuff to do in and around Barre, feel free to MeMail.
