After closing Onsen Ramen in Essex Junction for vacation in July, husband-and-wife co-owners Neil and Perry Farr reluctantly decided to keep the restaurant closed until.
ESSEX JUNCTION â Less than two years ago, two professionally-trained chefs took a chance when they decided to bring the color and flavor of Hawaii to a cold and gray Vermont winter.
The gamble paid off, because Neil and Perry Farr, owners of The Scale Poke Bar in Williston, have now expanded their operation to Essex Junction.
Located on Pearl Street, the second location of The Scale opened in mid-November and offers bright and locally-sourced poke bowls for take-out only.
Poke, which means âto slice or cutâ in Hawaiian, is marinated fish, like tuna or octopus, tossed over rice and topped with Asian-inspired sauces.
