    The SmokeHouse Barbeque At River Valley Market - Brisket platter

The gentleman at the window was nice and helpful. We went with their brisket platter- decent portion with full flavor and perfectly prepared. Cornbread and beans were great. We also did a side of Mac n cheese; it was decent, but lacked flavor. Overall, great place with a local, true bbq vibe and we will definitely return!

    The Smokehouse Barbecue Food Cart & The NOMAD Chefs Food Cart…read more Wilmington, Vermont Around the time that I moved to Vermont , I started hearing about An Incredible Team Of Chefs Called "The Nomad Chefs"Founded By The Great Brandon Ruble. They were Featured Each Week At That Time At The Wilmington Inn For Their "Wicked Wednesday" Events & They Always Got Rave Reviews. Each Week Mr Ruble Would Change Up The Menu With New & Delicious surprises with flavors and tastes from all Around the globe. And each Time I Went, The Food Was perfection. It wasn't long before Brandon Ruble Was The Talk Of The Town and Over the last two years or so, he went on to purchase a food truck for "Nomad Chefs" & Everybody Loves It. And Not long ago, I heard he had a brand new Food Truck & Started A Whole New Brand Called "The Smokehouse". They are currently at the River Valley Market & I'd been dying to go but kept missing it for one reason or the other, but last week I got there at just the right time. I even Got A Chance To Meet Brandon Ruble himself & He Was Just As Sweet As He Is Talented. It's easy to see how hard he works & How Well. A true master at what he does. A seasoned professional. Dan Took my order and he was awesome. Funny, sweet & Very Accommodating. His sweet tea was out of this world & Some of the best I've ever had. I Ordered the Brisket with Sides Of Coleslaw, Baked Beans & Homemade Cornbread. I Was Hesitant to order the brisket as my recent experiences doing so at other establishments didn't turn out so well. It takes a special touch to get brisket just right and not over or under cooked. Usually people miss the mark one way or the other. But The minute I opened my to-go box, I knew this wouldn't be the same. You could literally see how juicy it was & The meat was so tender it was almost falling apart In Your Mouth. To say that it was perfection would be an understatement. And the Flavor? Sooooo delectable. Rich & Full Bodied. Just perfect. Holy smokes was that delicious ( No Pun Intended). This was hands down The best brisket I've Ever had in all my life and I'm no spring chicken. Theres such a huge difference in the taste when its made by someone who is a true artist. Someone who puts thought, and time into all of the dishes that he adds to his menu. Someone like Brandon Ruble. I would highly recommend this food cart 100%. It Is Without A Doubt, The Best & Most Delicious Meal You'll Find & even The Fairest Price. Not Only Will You Love It, You Will Leave Full And Happy & You'll want to come back & So will your whole family. As You Eat Or Wait For Your To-Go Order, You'll Smell The Two Extra Large Smokers Going The Whole Time. The menu has something For Everyone, including Chicken Wings, Burgers, Fries & Even Hush Puppies. The main attraction though is the smoked platter. You choose your meat , IE Brisket, Pork Etc & pick two side dishes. No matter what you pick it'll be delicious. You will be very happy. I guarantee it. I went back a few days later with a friend of mine who's usually the hardest critic and doesn't like to to try new things. He sticks with the places he knows and goes there habitually. But even he went crazy over "The Smokehouse". His quote exactly was "This Is Better Than Any Place In Town". And THAT is the hugest statement of all in a place like vermont where there's delicious food everywhere. I highly recommend "The Smokehouse" Food Cart, In Addition to The "Nomad Chef's" Food Cart & Or Anything Else Brandon Ruble Puts his hands on. This man is absolutely gifted. The meal that I Had At "The Smokehouse" is only one of the many incredible creations that we've all come to know & expect from Mr Ruble When He Puts His name on Something. As far as I can see, there's nothing this man can't do. 5 stars

    While staying at the Nutmeg Inn, we decided to peek at the Fireside's menu on our last night. A…read moredelightful selection of tapas at reasonable prices in front of a roaring fire was impossible to resist. Our innkeeper Shelly was charming and gave us the run down on all our menu questions. We started with a lovely bottle of Italian wine that Shelly offered. Our dining experience then proceeded to the bread and dukka, which was a sourdough served with a dipping oil as well as dukka seasoning - a delightful taste combination. Next up was an artisanal cheese board -- with two types of crackers, three local cheeses, pear and apple slices, candied walnuts and the pièce de resistance-- an amazing truffle honey to top it all off with. The story could have ended here and I would been been completely satisfied with our dining exploration, but we were only halfway through. Next up were two tapas dishes served simultaneously, a lemon infused steak, with horseradish sauce (Shelly says they have a secret technique for preparing their steak) and also a fennel au gratin dish. Both were excellent flavor combinations but I have to give the edge to the lemon-infused steak, with the horseradish being the perfect saucy compliment. Before going on to dessert, we decided to try one more tapas dish - the chickpeas with andouille sausage and spinach. This combination was served in a bowl, almost like a soup. The sausage bits gave it just enough spice to keep it as interesting as all the dishes that came before it. In fact, I don't know that chickpeas have ever been this exciting, and I'm a big fan of the Garbonzo. I should also mention that the ambiance at Fireside is wonderful and cozy. A low wood beamed ceiling is complimented by unique artwork and a tasteful and low-level music selection. Be sure to ask Shelly why the Kate artwork is especially significant to her. Lastly for dessert, I chose the Dutch Baby Pancake. Served in a tiny but sizzling skillet with a cherry topping and a scoop of ice cream, no further words are necessary beyond the ingredients. Just be sure to have a glass of water handy because the pancake itself is extremely hot at first. Prior to Fireside, Shelly ran a restaurant in London for six years. Her experience shines through in the amazingly simple, yet awesomely elegant and novel food combinations. If you are looking for quiet, cozy, romantic dining in the Manchester VT area, Fireside is the hidden gem of delight, waiting for you to discover it! When we came on a Saturday night, we nearly had the place to ourselves. But I have a feeling that when word gets out, Fireside will be packed every night that they are open.

We knew when it came to the food, we wanted 1) a farm-to-table experience with pure, delicious, locally-sourced ingredients, 2) an elegant but down-to-earth seasonal menu, and 3) plenty of options for our vegan and celiac guests as well as our meat-lovers. Bonus points if our caterers were a pure pleasure to work with. The instant we spoke to Jake about our day, we knew we hit the jackpot. From the beginning, it felt like working with a friend. Jake was open, flexible, professional and generally awesome. Since we planned our wedding in about 10 weeks, I can't tell you what a load off it was to have the catering piece taken care of. Jake and the team were super on-point and helpful with our semi-DIY plans, and they couldn't have been friendlier through the entire process. Oh! And the food was SO good, SO perfect to what we envisioned and our guests have had nothing but highest compliments. I often get cravings for that meal... just delicious. As a side note, before we met in person we visited the Wheelhouse truck at the Amherst Farmer's Market in an impromptu detour and the team was so warm and welcoming to us, having us sample their amazing arepas and chatting with us about our upcoming plans. These are just great people doing great things, making special food and spreading love. Honestly, we couldn't want more than that.
