Discover Southern Maine's Community Gardens for Food and Friendship
We just got back from visiting friends in Providence, Rhode Island. They had a hard time believing that we had just got leaves on the trees in Southern Maine, let alone that we hadn't even planted our vegetable garden yet. However, with winter-like weather expanding into May, it isn't always easy or feasible to get your vegetable garden going before Memorial Day Weekend rolls around. That's where a community garden can come in handy.
Who Remembers This Iconic Portland, Maine, Italian Restaurant?
I was grabbing takeout at one of my favorite sushi spots the other day. However, every time I step foot into that joint, it briefly takes me back to a time when I wasn't going there for Japanese cuisine. The place I'm referencing is the extremely popular Yosaku on Danforth...
Portland, Maine’s Popular Watering Hole Opens Additional Outside Bar
One of the best parts of Portland Maine's bar scene once summertime hits is the patio scene. If you take a scenic walk down Wharf Street, you'll run into places like Mashtun, Jefe Juan's, or Room for Improvement before you inevitably run into Bonfire Country Bar. This summer, your beloved...
3 New Food Trucks & Their Locations Around Portland, Maine
One of my favorite things about Portland is the food truck scene. I mean you can go to any type of brewery and there's almost a 100 percent shot that you'll also see a food truck propped up in the parking lot. Since Portland is such a foodie town, it's likely you'll see anything from a sushi pop up to a bbq pop up, and either way it's always delicious. Sometimes I even wonder if food truck food tastes better than the restaraunt itself, but that's for another day. I'm just a radio host, please chef's don't come after me for that statement.
Unique New York-Style Pizza Shop to Open in Portland, Maine
If there's one thing I will never argue that Portland, Maine, has too much of, it's pizza shops. You can never have enough pizza shops in the city, especially if they're good. I will live and die by that statement. It'll be even more exciting to me if you hit me with the idea that a New York-style pizza shop is planning to open up in the city soon (Jersey-bred girl over here). So big shoutout to my friend Josh Miranda for exciting us all, and opening up yet another unique restaurant to look forward to downtown: Off-Track Pizza.
How to Win Your Way Into a Private Acoustic Shinedown Show in Portland, Maine
There have only been a handful of rock bands that have sold out shows in the Portland, Maine, metro multiple times over the past decade. Not small shows either, but bands that have packed thousands upon thousands of people into a venue for a night of unforgettable memories. Shinedown Performs...
The Chicken Wings From This Maine Pizzeria Need to Be Experienced
If you love good pizza, there is a good chance that you have eaten at Burano’s Wood-Fired Pizza at least once. The regional chain (with locations in Hallowell, Bath, and Scarborough), does have some amazing pizza. However, their menu includes way more than just pizza. Burano’s has burgers, sandwiches,...
Erik Larson, a master of popular history, is always on the hunt for a good story
PORTLAND, Maine — Unlike many, many people who have written books about the Civil War, Erik Larson is not a Civil War buff. In approaching the subject he was, in his words, “an ingenue.”. But a few years ago, with political discord rising in the U.S. and more...
Bay Haven Restaurant in Cornish, Maine Serves Up a “Humongous” Fisherman’s Platter
Sometimes I think Facebook knows way too much about me. I was scrolling through the other day, not looking for anything in particular, when I saw a friend of mine post on Facebook having dinner at Bay Haven Lobster Pound and Restaurant in Cornish, Maine. I love seafood, especially fried scallops, but the seafood platter he had looked amazing.
