The 207 Foodie Blog

It’s almost Mother’s Day! Before you panic, remember that we live in Portland, the city with more choices than you know what to do with. If my mother were in town (sadly she’s in Chicago) these are the places I would take her! 1. Petite Jacqeline: My mom isn’t always the easiest person to please, […]

This weekend was the first annual Street Eats and Beats food truck festival. Let me say, I came hungry and I left anything but that! Here’s just a small taste of what was there.

It’s a weird way to start, I know. But have you ever had a duck burger? I’m not talking about a burger topped with duck, fried in duck fat, or in honor of the Mighty Ducks. Though that last one would be pretty cool! No, I’m talking about a burger patty made exclusively out of […]

I know that spring has only just sprung (such a corny joke, I know) but what better time to do a roundup of my favorite restaurants in the 207 than right now? Some of these may come as a surprise, but there’s no doubt that these are the places that I keep coming back to, […]

UPDATE: Portland & Rochester closed. Be sure to check out Garrett Fitzgerald’s lobster restaurant in Bar Harbor: https://www.bhlobster.com/ I love food. You all must know that, right?

Well, fellow foodies, Maine Restaurant Week has come to a close. But just because it’s over, doesn’t mean we can’t relive it! Come along on a food journey with me. Monday: Bonobo Pizza– The Bessie pizza, a simple caesar salad and creme brulee to finish it all off. I love pizza as much as the […]

My favorite week of the year is here, fellow foodies: Restaurant Week! I’m hoping to beat my number from last year, since I only made it to two places (Petite Jacqueline and The Great Lost Bear). I think that four is the number to beat for Maine Restaurant Week 2014. Here’s where I’m heading: 1. […]

Although all food is great, one of my favorite things on the planet…is brunch. A good brunch can be hard to find and it may  require some trial and error. Enter Saturday and Sunday mornings. They are the perfect time for brunch, especially because sleeping in is a prerequisite that you cannot violate! And of […]

1. Street and Company If your idea of fine dining includes lobster, shellfish, and always fresh seafood, Street and Company may be your choice for Valentine’s Day. This has always been a favorite restaurant of mine in Portland, and I will recommend it, again and again. Looking for a perfect dish for two? Try the […]

I know I’m not breaking any new ground here, but Silly’s in Portland is just too good not to talk about. As always, I will never be a fan of restaurants that are chains, and Silly’s seems to have that essential charm that’s necessary to be a restaurant that sticks around. As much as I […]
