Just in time for Valentine's Day, Melissa Pasanen, who writes for the Savorvore Section of the Burlington Free Press shares ideas from local restaurant chefs for creating a romantic dinner.
"It's a huge deal for Valentine's Day. According to the National Restaurant Association, about a quarter of all Americans will go to a restaurant on Valentine's Day but also of course it's a great opportunity to make a beautiful, intimate meal at home," Pasanen said.
Pasanen spoke with local chefs about a memorable meal they created for a loved one and found the dinners they put together were often very simply prepared and it was more about spending a quiet evening together with good food and drink. "And definitely do the dishes together," Pasanen said.
