There are two locations for Hen of the Wood, the original restaurant is in Waterbury, VT and the second location is on the bottom floor of the newly opened Hotel Vermont in downtown Burlington. Chef Eric Warnstedt says, “the menu is pretty much the same. You know you’re eating at Hen of the Wood at either location. The Burlington menu has about twice as many small plates. It also has a section for oysters and ham and some other bar friendly sharable dishes. Everything is all whole animal and we have an in-house butcher.”

Chef Eric Warnstedt creates menus that utilize Vermont’s bounty from local cheeses to beer to whole animals, which they butcher in-house.
Originally from Fort Lauderdale, he was named one of Food & Wine’s Best New Chefs in 2008 and has been nominated for a James Beard Foundation Award for Best Chef in the Northeast every year since 2009.
“At Hen Of The Wood Burlington, we have an oyster bar and an old school ham slicer at the bar because that’s what we serve until one in the morning.”
“You know you’re eating at Hen of the Wood at either location. Each chef has worked for me as a sous chef for quite a while so they do also have freedom to sort of move onto their own. It’s all rooted in Hen of the Wood’s food.”
“The Burlington menu has about twice as many small plates. Everything is all whole animal. We have an in-house butcher and we have a special walk-in that has a window and you can see all the whole animals and charcuterie and stuff hanging which is pretty sweet.”
“The Waterbury restaurant is all the things that we’d wished for such as custom wood fired equipment built by guys who live around here. The whole restaurant is made by people around here, the table tops, the wood, you name it. From the lighting to the wood racks, they’re all built by some random friend of ours that lives within this little area.”
