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? I write a blog about food and the fantastic restaurants in the Portland food scene, and it’s on my bucket list to try every single restaurant in the state […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]
