Burlington restaurants among Vermont semifinalists for 2025 for James Beard Awards
Five Vermont restaurants and bars were announced Wednesday morning as semifinalists for the James Beard Awards, the industry’s most prominent American honors. The nominees include a much-lauded Burlington restaurant in the biggest category of all, Outstanding Restaurateur.
The 20 semifinalists in each category will be whittled down April 2 to a group of finalists. The awards will be given out June 16.
Vermont typically has numerous semifinalists each year, and in 2022 had an overall winner, the Thai restaurant Saap in Randolph, whose co-owner, Nisachon “Rung” Morgan, won Best Chef: Northeast in a ceremony in Chicago.
This year’s semifinalists from Vermont – four restaurants and a bar – are:
Honey Road/The Grey Jay, Burlington
These two Burlington restaurants – Honey Road is a dinner spot while The Grey Jay is open for breakfast and lunch – are nominated in the James Beard Awards’ lead category, Outstanding Restaurateur, for owners Cara Tobin and Allison Gibson. If the James Beard Awards are the Academy Awards of the restaurant industry, Outstanding Restaurateur is akin to Best Picture, the top prize of the night.
Honey Road is a regular nominee for the James Beard Awards, with Tobin having been a semifinalist for Best Chef: Northeast four times and reaching the finals in that category last year. Honey Road was also nominated for a nationwide prize, Best New Restaurant, in 2018.
The Grey Jay opened in late 2022. Amanda Wildermuth, who works there and at Honey Road, was nominated in the Outstanding Pastry Chef or Baker category in 2023.
May Day, Burlington
This Old North End restaurant that opened (naturally) in May of 2022 is one of two Vermont nominees for Best Chef: Northeast, which covers the six New England states. Avery Buck is the May Day chef nominated in that category.
May Day emphasizes local, fresh ingredients. The current menu listed online features large plates such as a May Day beef patty melt, cauliflower steak, steak frites and a chicken Caesar schnitzel.
Canteen Creemee Co., Waitsfield
That Vermont-specific term “creemee,” connoting an especially rich variety of soft-serve ice cream, will get some high-profile national attention thanks to the nomination of this popular Mad River Valley destination. Canteen Creemee’s Charlie Menard joins Buck of May Day as a nominee in the Best Chef: Northeast category.
Canteen Creemee is a big summer draw for its titular dessert, with adventurous flavors including Pumpkin Escobar and Apple Crusher. The modest-looking business in a Waitsfield shopping center is also regarded by many as producing some of the best fried chicken in Vermont.
Wolf Tree, White River Junction
Wolf Tree is a 24-seat cocktail bar in the Connecticut River valley community of White River Junction that’s nominated in the nationwide category of Outstanding Bar.
Cocktails listed on the bar’s website include Friday I’m In Love (“The Cure for what ails you”), a bubbly blend of vodka, citrus, strawberry and mint; You’re Doing Great (“Come for the tequila, stay for the affirmation”), which mixes tequila, ginger, passionfruit, Campari and lime; and I Wanna Be Your Lover (“Softly floral, gently herbaceous, with a hint of stone fruit. 100% sexy”), a concoction of gin, Lillet Blanc, genepy, apricot, grapefruit oil and orange bitters.

Severe thunderstorms possible this afternoon and evening. Scattered flash flooding possible tonight and even into Monday morning.
BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – A slow-moving but strong cold front will start to bring showers and thunderstorms to the region this afternoon, first in New York and the Champlain Valley, then slowly spread southeastward through the evening. The threat for severe weather has increased throughout the region, with damaging wind being the primary threat. Even an isolated tornado can’t be ruled out, but the risk for that is low. The greatest chance for severe weather will be between 4 PM and 10 PM today.
The risk for flash flooding will be this evening and even into Monday morning with isolated to scattered flash flooding. For those reasons, First Alert Weather Day is in effect from 3 PM through early Monday morning. Thunderstorms with possibly torrential downpours will result in 1 to 3 inches of rain tonight before ending around 2 to 3 AM early Monday, but residual flooding may continue into Monday morning.
Flash flooding may occur after midnight tonight, so if you’re traveling and encounter any flooded roads, never attempt to cross them. The water may look shallow, but the road could be washed out underneath and you won’t know until it’s too late if you try to drive through it. It’s always better to seek a different route. Our First Alert Weather Team will keep you updated if anything changes.
