Worthy Kitchen | Vermont

The week continues with an all time Vermont favorite (2/3)!

Worthy Kitchen | Where: Woodstock | 20 minutes from exit 1 off I89
When: Dinner heading west on Rt 4 to Killington




Worthy Kitchen in Woodstock along with their first location, Worthy Burger in Royalton, have become well known Vermont craft beer bars that serve a coveted burger. Friends, you are in for a treat. Cooked over a hardwood fire The Farm Diner Burger ($13) features Vermont raised beef on a worthy bun with lettuce, red onion, bomb sauce and American cheese. The juicy beef is flavorful and melt in your mouth tender. An all around excellent burger, my personal favorite anywhere!! (Why a photo eludes me of the burger from a place with BURGER in the name is beyond me, especially as I have pictures of so many dishes!!) 
The Cavattapi Mac N Cheese is oh so cheesy + creamy without being too heavy. The Green Curry + Coconut Shrimp Tacos spice things up one evening with green apple, cilantro, spicy mayo and heaps of pickled ginger. 
Can't miss sides include the Truffle Fries and the innovative Pickle Plate - with a rotating assortment of house pickled vegetables and fruit; our plate had pineapple (amazing), cauliflower, mushrooms and onions. And you probably don't want to miss out on their Buttermilk Chicken ($18) with superbly crisp skin encasing juicy chicken over a sweet potato puree with spoonfuls of a lust worthy pesto chevre, fire roasted veggies and garlic honey syrup. 
As you can see, we visit Worthy all.the.time. The menu changes regularly (though you will always find the Worthy Burger.) You can also get your fried chicken in sandwich form with bomb sauce, mango chutney, cilantro and pickles. An ear of street corn on the side...worthy!
Sought after local Vermont brews (18 on draft) include Hill Farmstead, Lawson’s Finest Liquids and Zero Gravity, alongside New England favorites like Jack's Abby, Rising Tide and Maine Beer Co. The counter service method is easy and reliable - keep your tab open as long as you like and the kitchen buzzes you once your food is ready. No hostesses, no wait staff, just casual, comfortable, farm diner digs to enjoy some of the finest local food and beer Vermont has to offer.

  1. I had dinner at Simon Pearce last fall, SO good and would lov to go up again for brunch! I also could just spend all day there eating, drinking and looking at all their beautiful pieces.

  2. Gorgeous photos, as always! That Prohibition Pig has been on my list for a while, really must try it. One of our very favorite places is way up north in the remote hamlet of West Glover, Northeast Kingdom: the legendary Parker Pie, and the hype is true. It really is that good. Another favorite is Fireworks Restaurant in funky, fun Brattleboro.

  3. I totally agree that Vermont is the best. The sky really is more blue there than anywhere else and the grass and trees are greener! I am bookmarking this for my next trip. All three of these places look divine. Can't wait to try Worthy Kitchen in Brookline.

  7. WOW! everything looks amazingggg. Drooling at my desk ;) When we were in college we used to love to make the trek to stowe to go to Pie in the Sky for pizza and Cabot Cheese for ridiculous amounts of cheese samples. Then in Burlington we loved all of the staples (sweetwater, church street tavern, etc.) and Sneakers in Winooski for breakfast!
