This weekend, I fell in love. Diner love, one of the most important kinds in my line of work, right up there with eros, agape and sushi.

Coming from the New York City suburbs, where diner food is a proud regional tradition, I have taken nearly 16 years in Vermont to find a diner that I considered completely acceptable. But it’s finally happened. And best of all, the Parkway Diner is right in my neighborhood.

You might be thinking, It’s just diner food, what’s the big deal? One thing is the enviable freshness of the product, very clear in the above-average salad at right. And that’s in the off season. Owner Corey Gottfried says he plans to source local ingredients come summer.

Got something to say?
