It doesn’t take a genius to know that I love eating in Portland. And it’s something that my mother knows too, even if she lives a thousand miles away. She recently made a trip to Portland to celebrate her 60th birthday, and it reminded me just how much I love this town. It’s always different […]

When it comes to eating in Portland, it’s sometimes an overwhelming journey to find a meal. If you’re looking for some new(ish) restaurants to try in Portland, here’s a list to get you started!

If you live in Portland and are sick and tired of the Old Port, chances are, you’ve been to Thompson’s Point already. Hell, you’ve probably already done the Thompson’s Point bar crawl and not even known it. But I’m not going to lie, I really love Thompson’s Point. In its incarnation right now, it has […]

Living in Portland is a beautiful, beautiful thing. We’ve got breweries, James Beard award winning restaurants, and a knack for everything that people love most about our fair city: the local businesses. So when out of town friends come into town, it’s basically just a non-stop party. And when this particular friend comes into town, […]

I can almost remember it like it was yesterday. When I first heard about Maine Restaurant Week, I couldn’t believe it. Here was a whole week, dedicated to the restaurant scene in Maine. I first started this blog when I was a senior in college at USM, when I was looking for any and every […]

This kind of weather doesn’t exactly inspire me to cook, but it does make me crave soup. Lots and lots of soup. So if you’re cold and can’t muster […]

I don’t like to bring up politics, but it’s been an unavoidable topic after the election. How convenient that comfort food is available, and near by. Want to know what one of the ultimate comfort foods is? Meatballs! There’s just something about meatballs that makes people stop in their tracks for a minute, and just […]

Ever wonder what the life of a “foodie” is really like? I’ll be honest: it’s probably not that much different from yours. Except a lot of times I have ideas for posts rattling around in my head, and my list of restaurants to try is a few miles long. My friends are usually my partners […]

Fall is here! I love the changing leaves, hot apple ciders, and cold autumn nights that require bonfires and s’mores. But along with these great things, it’s also football season. Whether you’re a Pats fan or just a football lover, this is your time of year. For everyone else that gets dragged along to watch […]
