Breakfast at Thistle Hill Tavern
Sometimes, you don't want cornflake-crusted French toast or a stack of lemon-rhubarb dessert-like waffles  — you just want breakfast. At Thistle Hill, you can tap into your inner-IHOP-desires by way of this aptly-named dish. Piled up with Heritage Acres bacon, farm fresh eggs, and a ricotta pancake drizzled with Vermont maple syrup, it's a plate full of everything you know and love, only way better than you expected.
