Every summer, it seems like there is always one restaurant that I’m anticipating the most. For months, I’ve heard talk about a fried chicken shack coming to Thompson’s Point. Well, it’s finally open and worth the wait. Here’s what to expect from Big J’s Chicken Shack!

When you’re dealing with mid-November, several things come to mind. First, how has it been in the fifties? I know weather in Maine is ever changing, but there’s a first for everything. And when that weather does change, only one thing comes to mind: ramen. Because inevitably, there are nights when I come home from […]

Hi guys. I feel like I haven’t written anything here in a while, but it’s not for lack of trying. I promise, I have at least 20 posts in draft mode…in my head. I’m going to be completely honest with you: it’s hard to write about food when you can’t eat it. When every bite […]

I don’t know about you, but one of my favorite things about Portland is that perfect summer day. You go out, you eat lunch, you walk around, and just enjoy life. Even better is when you get to sit outside! I figure there’s no better time than the present to start a summer lunch series. […]

Granted, I have never considered myself a fan of Mexican food. Sure, the occasional burrito and taco is consumed, but […]

Although some people would not call State Street a booming part of Portland, it is the avenue I must travel to find quality restaurants. Lucky for me, within a 3-5 block radius are some of the best restaurants I have yet to try! Next on the list: Hot Suppa! Having visited twice this summer, once […]

When I read the Portland Press Herald’s review of LFK, I was certainly intrigued. And when I checked in on Foursquare, the tips were almost all: try the mac and cheese and the burger. So I did both, though I have to tell you, LFK is like no other place in Portland. Located next to […]
