Bagel Market -- Essex, Vermont
Bagel are the new what . . . English muffins? . . . donuts? . . . who cares! They're delicious and most Americans can't get enough of them. Boutique Bagel shops like Bagel Market in Essex sells the "fine wine" of bagels. Baked on the premises, if you get there at the right time in the morning you can get them hot out of the oven -- warm bagels are one of life's simple pleasures. Bagel Market offers on average 18 to 20 different varieties of bagels and sells them as sandwiches, by the dozen, or as its just on their own. Coffee and other breakfast pastries are available, but I'm partial to the bagels. They have just about as many variates of cream cheese for all their bagels as well -- you could eat there every day for a month and not have the same combination twice. The staff is friendly and courteous --I always ask for a lot less cream cheese than the half gallon they willingly smear on. I've always gotten my order to go, but there are tables and chairs available to sit and enjoy your meal. Bagels, is there anything they can't do?

Martone's Market -- Essex Junction
Do you have that friend that refuses to eat at the same chain restaurants day in and day out? Do they happen to have a lot of disposable income? Because Martone's is not for the budget conscious, but damn if their sandwiches aren't worth going into the red for. Martone's serves one of those deli sandwiches that you can't fit your mouth around unless you have a detachable jaw. They use only the best meats (Boar's Head) and the freshest vegetables. Their mayonnaise is out-of-this-world, who knew egg yolks and oil could taste transcendent. The service is only just average, I've had good experiences and just so-so ones. If you are in a hurry don't stop by during the noontime rush unless you are willing (able) to wait 10 to 15 minutes for your order. Although I have never eaten on the premises, it is very open, inviting, and bright thanks in large part to high ceilings and huge storefront windows. They also provide deli platters for large gatherings, and marinated meats, along with salads. Brownies, cookies, and other desserts are also available, but be prepared to walk 40 or 50 miles to work off the calories from these decadent desserts. Martones . . . bring your checkbook and your appetite.

Being from the New York area, I can honestly say that this pizza does justice to its name. The pizza is very delicious and very filling. However, the main reason I come here is for the ice cream. There aren't too many places where you can get a great meal and some original ice cream to follow it. The atmosphere here is really casual and a whole lot of fun. This is definitely a good place to come with some friends for a great night out.

Mimmo's Pizzeria and Restaurant -- Essex Junction, VT
I love pizza and Essex Junction has some great local pizza (see my other posts on Bingo's, Foodee's, and Leonardo's), but Mimmo's (pronounced Me Moes) . . . nothing compares to Mimmo's. Serving a southern Italian pizza -- thin pizza with a big, fluffy, crunchy crust -- Mimmo's in Essex Junction is a full service Italian restaurant and pizzeria. Prices are not unreasonable, but you pay for quality food made from high-quality ingredients. The budget-conscious should probably stick to ordering single slices served piping hot. Seating is limited and during lunch and dinner (especially on weekends) you're going to wait to be seated. The service is great and the waiters and waitresses are friendly and very helpful. Although Mimmo's is definitely a "family dining" experience, it doesn't feel like you're trying to eat at a day-care. Take-out is available, as well as delivery in a limited range. Mimmo's is definitely a "where-the-locals" eat kind of place -- simply, the best!

Tiny but great. Looks like nothing on the outside, in the outlet mall, but inside is very attractive. The food is unexpectedly good, beautifully presented. Good service, friendly but professional staff, and reasonably priced.

Bingo's Pizzeria -- Essex Junction
Wedged in between a jeweler and a dry cleaner in a rather non-descript shopping plaza just passed the fairgrounds, Bingo's Pizzeria is short on aesthetics and long on taste. The daily special ($1 for a slice of cheese pizza) and a small Pepsi cost me less than $5. I came in shortly after the noontime rush and although the table and chairs were clean, I table I sat at was out of napkins, but this is a pizza joint not fine dining -- it's expected, it adds the necessary ahhmm-be-aunts. "Best whole-wheat crust in town," the owner told me. Not being able to do a more scientific taste test, I would have to agree. Bingo's serves an average crust (not too thick or too thin) pizza and the whole wheat crust was crunchy and satisfying. Although there was an all-you-can-stuff-in-your-pizza-hole buffet, I stuck with a couple of slices, but a quick glance revealed the buffet comes with a tossed salad as well. The best thing anyone can say about any restaurant is that they would go back and that they would recommend it to family and friends. On both counts, bingo!

Foodee's Pizza -- Essex, Vermont
Steps away from the Essex Cinemas is a hidden secret, Foodee's Pizza. Serving take-out as well as dine-in, Foodee's serves a great tasting, thick crust, pizza. What makes them a great place to eat before a movie is their selection of slices made to order. Check out the specials-of-the-day, unusual, but also satisfying -- they serve a four cheese with pepperoni that is out of this world. The service is excellent. Your order is brought to your table and served on a pizza stand, think a cake stand, but for pizza. Beer is available in bottles with a selection of micro brews that rivals better bars and taverns. A couple of slices and a coke or even your favorite micro-brew will cost you less than $10 -- a better deal (and better tasting) than popcorn and a soda at the movies, that's for sure. Do Foodee's!

If you are a fan of gourmet Chinese/Cantonese/Szechuan cuisine, this is the place for you to go. I don't eat out often but when I do, I only go for the best food out there. Joyce's offers fresh Asian cuisine cooked in 100% vegetable oil and no MSG. Their vegetable spring rolls are to die for! Thin, crispy, and not greasy or heavy. They have an interesting assortment of veggies inside. Baby peas and corn kernels are a few of the veggie surprises rolled inside. These veggie rolls are only better if you choose to dip them in the duck sauce that Joyce's supplies with them. If you go to Joyce's and don't try the vegetable spring rolls, it is like going to the Louvre and missing the Mona Lisa!
If you like it spicy, this is also the restaurant for you! They will adjust the heat to your desired temperature, but be warned, what they consider average is a bit hotter by most restaurants' standards. The Kung Pau bean curd with peanuts is delectable as well as carnivorous pursuits such as the beef and broccoli. They don't skimp on the vegetables and they are always fresh and cooked to perfection.
Check out Joyce's Noodle House when you are in town. You will be glad you did. They aren't expensive, but know it is not "cheap eats" ordering off the menu a la carte. They do offer a good value with their Combination Dinners that are offered all day, ranging in price from $6.25 to $6.75.
Joyce's is located at 5 Carmichael St in Essex Jct.
