Best story on Bourdain’s Maine tour I’ve seen yet is in today’s Bangor News. It details his visit to a baked bean suppah in Milo, hometown of his cameraman/cinematographer. Snip: “‘I’ve had beans, I’ve had baked beans and pork and beans, but these are some pretty damn good beans,” Bourdain said. “It’s the first time [...]

Even though the color is a bit from peak, it’s still gorgeous in the Bethel area. If you’re looking to slip away for a day or two, you won’t go wrong here in the next week or so.

We finished our visit to Mount Desert Island with two returns, Mache Bistro for a dinner and Jordan Pond House for lunch. Once again, Mache did everything right. Chef/owner Karl Yarborough knows how to put out excellent food and how to keep the front of the house running smoothly. Our table of six ordered two [...]

I’ve long been a fan of sea salt, but now that I’ve discovered all-natural, Maine-harvested Quoddy Mist Sea Salt, others dull by comparison.

For years I’ve driven right by Colleen’s Jams and Jellies, and for years I’ve been telling myself I really should stop. Finally did, and now I’m mourning all the years I could have been slathering her fine products on morning popovers or biscuits or on crackers with tea. Now 85, Colleen told me she’s getting [...]

Red vinyl, Formica, and chrome. Super-friendly waitresses. Really good home cookin’. Martha’s Diner delivers big time. I stopped by for lunch today, and the place was packed. No surprise, since almost everything on the menu is less than $6 (if you want that 8 oz sirloin steak with one egg, toast and home fries, it’ll [...]

…and to anyone else at Portland’s annual Greek Heritage Festival, June 25-27, at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church. Food, dancing, food, crafts, food, music, food… see a pattern? Well let’s just say they have a shish-kabob recipe for 10,000. And that’s not all: There’s lamb souvlaki, rice pilaf, Greek salad, dolmades, moussaka, and spanakopita, as [...]
