The 207 Foodie Blog

UPDATE: The Merry Table Creperie is now closed Let me assure you, the continuation of the Chicken and Waffles quest is coming. But who doesn’t love crepes? The answer may be people who are gluten intolerant, but I’m sure gluten free crepes exist, somewhere. My point is, crepes have long been loved by people all […]

Greetings from my new iPad Air that I got for Christmas, and Happy New Year! I’ve spent the last few weeks on my chicken and waffles quest, searching for the “winner”. The problem with that is, it’s more complicated than that. Out of the four places that I know for sure have them, as of […]

As the (207) Foodie, covering Portland is usually my only locale. However, a few weekends back, I was able to travel outside of my main area to Lewiston for a Portland Pirates game. Now, I’ll never understand why the Portland Pirates are no longer playing in Portland, but Fuel is a culinary delight for both […]

This weekend I decided to give Pai Men Miyake a second chance for lunch. Considering the backlash over my review, it seemed like maybe I hadn’t given Pai Men a chance. So I went back, this time for lunch with my friend. Happy to report I left feeling full this time, and the pork buns […]

Being a foodie on the Portland food scene means sometimes waiting six months to try a popular restaurant. For whatever reason, it has taken me six months to try Little Tap House, which is conveniently down the street from my apartment. Well, it’s well worth the wait. Quality food and the freshest ingredients available. What’s […]

Normally in Maine, the topic at hand is seafood. Who has the best, who is the freshest, etc. Today it’s all about the pulled pork sandwich. Over the last few months, I’ve tried some impressive selections, from The Thirsty Pig, Hot Suppa, Blue Rooster, and almost but not quite, Salvage BBQ. Let it be known, […]

Dessert is the best meal of the day to me, and The Bar of Chocolate in the Old Port deserves some recognition. As a chocoholic, I’ve never found a place that quenches my endless thirst for chocolate and dessert quite like they do. From alcoholic beverages to the perfect dessert to end your night, The […]

So, many Portlanders may not know, but Empire has went back to its original roots: a Chinese restaurant. It was the first Chinese restaurant to ever open in Portland back in 1916. However, it’s been known as the Empire Dine and Dance for a while now, serving as a venue for music and performances. And […]

I am so full beyond belief with Barbecue as I write this. I went to Salvage for dinner Thursday night, and I am highly impressed. I’ve always been a Barbecue fan, and pulled pork is my favorite. It was disappointing when I found out that Barbecue isn’t a top priority in Portland, but not anymore! […]

Though Mexican has never really been my thing, the one restaurant that I keep coming back to is Taco Escobarr. Located right across the street from Nosh, I am compelled to eat their delicious tacos. Granted, I have never considered myself a fan of Mexican food. Sure, the occasional burrito and taco is consumed, but […]
