164 Porters Point Road, Colchester, 343-6789
When is a diner not really a diner? If you ask purists, an eatery doesn’t truly qualify unless it’s in a classic diner car. Strike one for Colchester’s new Guilty Plate Diner, then. Rather than a vintage dining car, this restaurant is situated in the former quarters of a vintage, er, video store.
But a look of the photo at right shows that the Alvanos family, who currently own Burlington’s Pine Street Deli and once also ran the Parkway Diner in South Burlington, know a thing or two about the great American diner. The checkered floors, counter and ’57 Chevy booths capture the classic feel, while photos of farm animals give it a more modern Vermont edge.
