McClure Lobby, Fletcher Allen Health Care, 111 Colchester Avenue, Burlington, 847-3978
This week is Seven Days‘ annual Health & Fitness issue, our chance to pay homage to some of the food that we don’t usually have an opportunity to write about. In my case, that’s hospital food.
Alice Eats is all about sharing great deals, and Fletcher Allen Health Care’s Harvest Café has more than a few cool reasons for me to endorse it: While the food isn’t uniformly healthful, it is prepared with an eye toward good health.
The cafeteria is open from 5 a.m. until 3 a.m. every day, meaning it competes only with downtown’s Kountry Kart for all-hours supremacy. The wide range of foods is prepared with as many local ingredients as possible, including produce grown at the hospital garden in season. And most importantly for the purposes of this column, the food is cheap. Really cheap. $3 for a pizza cheap.
