1500 Edson Hill Road, Stowe 253-8741 For super-secret reasons that will reveal themselves in next week's paper, I mostly limited myself to eating in last week. For the same super-secret reasons, I was in desperate need of great desserts.

1439 St-Mathieu, Montréal, Québec, (514) 935-7779 My world revolves around barbecued meat. Kansas City-style pork ribs, Korean bulgogi, Japanese kushiyaki, Hungarian fatanyeros, Bosnian cevapi — you name it, I love it.

15 Center Street, Burlington 802-862-9647 I am taking full advantage of Vermont Restaurant Week.
