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.
