Mark Bove If you’ve lived in the Burlington area for more than a few years, you probably remember Bove’s Restaurant. Luis and Victoria Bove opened their beloved Art Deco eatery on a memorable day — December 7, 1941. It closed at the end of 2015. Three generations of the Bove family worked in the restaurant over its 74-year lifespan. They fed basically everyone in town. Politicians of all stripes dined there, Gov. Phil Scott to Sen. Patrick Leahy and Sen. Bernie Sanders to President John F. Kennedy. They served athletes Sugar Ray Leonard and John LeClair. Nonna Victoria’s deep-dish lasagna was featured on the Food Network’s Throwdown With Bobby Flay.
