I’m glad you asked! The New England Gourmet strives to index the best brunches in New England. Many of the restaurants featured in this blog offer, through modern cuisine, original and delectable dishes based on local and seasonal ingredients. More specifically, they distinguish themselves either by the creative and thoughtful interpretation of a known recipe or by the invention of a new one. By promoting such establishments, I hope to strengthen the sense of community and support the local economy.
The additional purpose of this blog is to contravene trends that bestow upon certain restaurants an unwarranted popularity merely because of the location or due to a particular alluring gimmick that distracts from middling food. In that regard, you can rest assured that all my recommendations are solely based on the quality of the dishes and nothing else!
At the bottom of the page, each review features a grading system (out of five stars) focusing on three key elements: flavors, originality, and value. While I strongly recommend going over the whole article, those criteria alone allow the reader to put things into perspective and facilitate comparisons between different restaurants. They constitute a reasonable basis for evaluation and a somewhat objective approach. Â Consequently, restaurants that, in my opinion, manage to reach the right balance between flavors, originality, and value earn a spot on this website.
