Hip performance venue, gallery & cafe features New American eats, plus craft cocktails & local beer.
"WHAT: Big-flavored, testosterone-fueled bar food grounded in classic French technique, at a DIY performance venue in Burlington's South End arts district.
WHY: In late 2014, ArtsRiot cofounders PJ McHenry and Felix Wai ditched a half-baked “kitchen collective” concept and hired ball-of-fire chef-partner George Lambertson to execute the menu. Since then, Lambertson (with recent help from chef de cuisine Jean-Luc Matecat) has metamorphosed the once-reluctant restaurant into an anchor for the South End’s blossoming food scene. It’s the kind of place where you’ll find farmers alongside artists and drag queens, chop-sticking through bowls of black-garlic ramen bobbing with torchons of chicken, pigs feet, and lemongrass. You’ll also meet mammoth burgers — gooey with American cheese and special sauce — stacked on request up to four patties high." [Eater]
