    Chef Larry cooked our rehearsal dinner at our Airbnb and the food was a hit! Our guests could not…read morestop talking about how delicious everything was. We had a destination wedding in Burlington and we can all confidently say that Chef Larry's food was one of the highlights of our special weekend. Even at our restaurant reception dinner, our guests were half-joking when they said they wished they were eating Chef Larry's food instead. We had our wedding in Vermont primarily because we loved the food, and Chef Larry's cooking exemplified everything we adored about Vermont's farm to table scene. He was so patient and accommodating when it came to our guests with specific dietary restrictions. He happily made smaller portions to accommodate those guests, all without sacrificing presentation or timeliness. None of our guests with dietary restrictions felt like they were missing out or being given a sub-par substitute. I highly recommend the Vermont Cheese Plate. Chef Larry only put cheeses on there that could be found within a 50 mile radius. These were some of the best cheeses I've ever tasted. In fact, all of his ingredients were fresh and local. We ordered 1 Vermont Cheese Plate, 2 appetizers (the lamb lollipops and spinach and feta mushrooms), the heirloom tomato salad, the roasted roots as a side dish, and 2 entrees (roasted pork loin and coconut chickpea curry). This fed 14 people and we even had leftovers for days! Since we were staying in an Airbnb, we were worried that the kitchen might not be able to accommodate the needs for cooking a huge meal, but Chef Larry came prepared. We were able to go through the kitchen and let him know what we had/didn't have, but he was able to provide his own kitchen ware and serving platters (we provided plates and utensils). This was a huge relief and convenience because we didn't have to go out shopping for serving platters that we would only use once. We did not have to lift a finger. Instead of us cooking and hosting or even driving to a restaurant, ordering, and waiting, we were able to use that time to spend quality time with all of our guests and enjoy the meal together in the comfort of our Airbnb. This was so much more fun than going to restaurant. Chef Larry truly took care of everything so we were able to focus on just enjoying ourselves. In addition to being an amazing cook, Chef Larry is a truly genuine and kind person. Our guests enjoyed chatting with him in the kitchen and you can really tell that he loves what he does. Honestly, we are so jealous that Vermont has a gem like him. If you are considering hiring a personal chef/event chef in Vermont, look no further than Chef Larry! His cooking is a next level and a crucial supplement to the Vermont food experience. You will not regret it!

I wouldn't hesitate to hire him for any event!! everyone raved about the quality of the food, and not having to lift a finger to cook it made it taste all the better. thanks again larry for making our night!!

    No idea why anyone would give this a 1 star review. We had a lot of fun. For $6 a head you get a…read more30-45 minute tour of their first ice cream factory. That was cool, hearing about the history, wins and losses (some flavors just weren't destined for greatness). and the entire behind-the-scenes processes. At the end you get a sample, though it is small. And once outside again you can buy as much as you want at the store. But for $6 that's not bad at all; we learned quite a bit about ice cream itself, which was cool. Highly recommended, and very easy to find just off the main highway/Rt 100.

    Before I wrote my own review, I had to go and read the 1 star reviews because I can't believe…read moresomeone could give this place only 1 star. I do see their point, it is a bit of a "tourist trap" as evidenced by their paid 30 min tour and silly flavor graveyard but I think if you're someone that has enjoyed Ben and Jerry's ice cream, the "trap" actually feels like more of a feel good/nostalgia thing. Tickets for the tour are purchased online in advance. You are warned multiple times that you might not see actual production but we were lucky enough to see them making some cherry garcia when we went. The factory is pretty small as their majority production is done elsewhere where people that give 1 star reviews don't get to go. The ice cream that we got to try on the tour was available at the window and that was kind of a bummer. I will admit that it would have made the $50 I spent on the tour a bit less painful if we had some secret flavor. Either way, it was neat to see how they do things in an almost wonka-like way. After the tour we all had some ice cream from the window. Once again, it was the same flavors you can buy in the store. People were friendly enough and overall we had a great time. The ice cream was amazing as always!

    We hired this catering company for a wedding and paid approximately $10,000. Unfortunately, the…read moreexperience was an absolute disaster from start to finish. The bride personally went over the contract and all of the details with Devyn the week before the wedding, including staffing. Devyn specifically confirmed that he would have five additional staff members there to help execute the event. They were contracted to arrive around 2:00-2:30 PM. Instead, they arrived only minutes before the 3:30 PM ceremony. Despite the confirmation the week before, the contracted five additional staff members were nowhere to be found. Only Devyn, one staff member, and his mother arrived. Cocktail hour began around 4:15-4:30 PM, and the appetizers were not ready. They were not passed or served to guests as expected. Instead, the food was placed in aluminum trays with virtually no presentation or proper buffet setup. The appetizers ended up being served roughly an hour late. At one point, soap was spilled onto a white tablecloth on the food table, ruining it. Dinner service was also 20-30 minutes late. When the buffet finally opened, food came out slowly and repeatedly ran out while guests were standing in line waiting. Eventually, they ran out of protein entirely, leaving two tables without any. The delays were so significant that the late-night snacks we had ordered from another catering company arrived while the final three tables were still being served dinner. This was supposed to be a wedding reception, not guests waiting around for hours to be fed. There was also an extremely uncomfortable situation where the caterer's mother was taking food off guests' plates because she said guests were only supposed to have one protein. This could have easily been avoided if the five additional staff members that Devyn had confirmed were actually there to serve the guests. For approximately $10,000, we expected professional catering service: proper chafing dishes, serving utensils, presentation, adequate staffing, and a smooth service for the wedding guests. What we received was nowhere close to that standard and was, frankly, one of the worst buffet setups I have ever seen. There were also serious issues with the property. The contract specifically stated that there was no kitchen access. Because they arrived so late, I personally showed them where they could set up. After the ceremony, I discovered that they had entered and used the kitchen of the Airbnb property despite the agreement. This particular house has septic issues and the kitchen was not supposed to be used. They used virtually every pot and pan, left oil throughout the kitchen and on surfaces, and left the kitchen in a destructive and extremely dirty condition. After dinner, I went to ask why they had run out of food. While doing so, I discovered additional supplies in the freezer, including multiple packs of beans, additional meat, bread, and other supplies that could have been used. This made the situation even more frustrating given that guests had already gone without food. The situation ultimately became even more unacceptable when the mother of the bride gave Devyn a $40 tip. Devyn and his mother became extremely confrontational, yelling at members of the wedding party and calling people "assholes." His mother became physically confrontational and was getting directly in people's faces while screaming. We repeatedly asked them to pack up and leave the property, and they ultimately left the property in a mess. If you are considering this company for a wedding or large event, please do your research and take the existing reviews seriously. We wish we had. My strongest recommendation is to make sure you understand every detail of your contract, verify exactly what staffing and service are included, and do not make final payment until you have received the service you were promised. For a $10,000 wedding catering bill, we expected a professional catering company and professional service. That is absolutely not what we received.

    Lauren is amazing. My wife and I had our wedding at Windekind Farm and we, along with all of our…read moreguests were blown away by everything she put out. Going into the wedding planning process, we heard two contradictory things. First, we were told that food is the one thing to splurge on. On the other hand, everyone uses wedding food as the example of gross, boring, overcooked banquet food. Well we didn't have a fortune to blow on our catering and having spent 3 years in San Francisco, food is an fundamental priority in our lives. Lauren was perfect. And here's why: 1) The food -- 5 stars. Lauren knows Asian food inside and out and it's all about the flavor. The food is beautifully presented, but her priority is the taste. We continue to rave about the food. Guests continue to rave about the food. 2) Lauren's professionalism -- 5 stars. Lauren was always focused and well organized. Nothing fell through the cracks. She also made sure to set us back on track if we began to get overly ambitious. She gave us a quote for the food and labor and hit it perfectly. 3) Lauren's commitment to locally sourced food -- 5 stars. Sourcing vegetables, fruits, and proteins locally is usually more expensive than the industrial option for obvious reasons, but it is a priority for Lauren to do her best within the budget she is given. 4) Working with our vision -- 5 stars. Throughout the planning process, Lauren was always innovating new ways to fit our crazy visions. When we wanted family style small plates, she made it happen. She had an idea to host a dumpling station...which was amazing and delicious!! Even though we hadn't thought of how the lanterns and candles would be lit, we turned around and her staff had lit them all. Lauren does all the right things for all the right reasons. She's smart, talented, adventurous and on the ball. There is too much good to share. The only way to fully understand how amazing she is to see for yourself. If you want to have food that people will talk about for the rest of your lives, hire Lauren.

    Lauren recently catered our wedding for 100 guests and I can't imagine it could have been handled…read moreany better. From her amazing, locally sourced ingredients to her incredible staff to her calm, focused approach to dealing with inclement weather, she shined in every way possible. She was an absolute rock throughout, easy to talk to, knowledgeable about do's and don'ts on a wedding day, and flexible flexible, flexible! I wish I could give her and her great staff 10 stars! Oh, and the food is spectacular! This is one of those people who when you're around them, they exude such a sense of professional expertise that you can't help but feel at ease knowing that they will take care of their end, no problem. What a pro!!!
