Restaurant Description:
What makes the Black Bear different?

Simply put, most restaurants have a single theme; a single type of clientelle. From Burger King to Le Bec-Fin, you know what to expect. The Black Bear is much more difficult.

Chef-Owner Victor Matthews is not dealing simply with a fine dining crowd or a group of locals who want inexpensive comfort food, or even a range of patrons somewhere in the middle. He has them all, and in abundance. To go in any one direction in the small town of Green Mountain Falls would be financial suicide.

Sure, in the Summer, when the Pass that leads to the larger city is clear, he can expect an influx of consumers expecting Chef's Menus and fine wine. But what about those Winters where four feet of snow falls every weekend for over a month? Then he must rely on his friends and neighbors for support, and they want simple inexpensive food. It is no wonder the site never worked before he arrived. A burger place would not make money, yet a fine dining palace could not survive. Both clientelle had to be addressed, and that is the danger and the magic of the Black Bear. Few would even dare such a challenge.

As fabulous as your meal is bound to be, don't scoff at the Burger or the Chicken Fried Steak on the Menu. It isn't weakness, but courage and genius that put it there.
