Is This Little Known Bar the ‘Cheers’ of Maine?
Even if you regularly post on Instagram about drinking martinis at high end cocktail lounges or you're always posting TikTok videos of yourself & your friends dancing in loud nightclubs, there's a good chance you've had at least a few memorable nights (or nights you can't clearly remember) at a hole in the wall neighborhood bar.
Portland’s DiMillo’s Doesn’t Get Enough Credit for Their Awesome Food
It's more than just a tourist trap on a floating boat you can eat on. DiMillo's FLOATING restaurant is the restaurant tourists seem to be drawn to. I'll never forget when I went to Dimillo's for the first time almost 40 years ago. I had recently moved here from Idaho and had never seen a whole lobster. I had my first whole lobster experience at DiMillio's.
Maine’s Iconic ‘Trolley Cart’ Diner Earns Spot on ‘America’s Best Classic Diners’ List
Never pass up an opportunity to eat breakfast, lunch, or dinner in a vintage trolley cart. It's so fun. Have you ever been to the icon of Biddeford breakfast places, the Palace Diner? It's the cutest little diner you'll ever see, made up of just "one car length's worth of patrons", according to roadfood.com Yes, this makes it extremely hard to secure a spot on a Saturday or Sunday morning, but if you can manage the wait time, I can promise you it's worth it. I've only been a few times on the weekends, and all I remember is the portions being of wildly delicious quality, and enough to take home for lunch the next day.

Portland Eats: Why Yuubi Sushi is a Must-Try Spot!
This Japanese spot in Portland is seriously a must-try, and the ingredients are super fresh. Located in Beaverton, it's not a big restaurant, but it boasts an outdoor patio. I was dining solo, so I got a seat at the sushi bar where I could watch the chef work his magic – such a treat! They don’t use paper menus; you just scan a QR code to bring up the menu and order directly from it or through a waiter. Here are a few of my recommendations: Omakase - Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I always think of Omakase as like opening a mystery box, and their Omakase includes 6 different types of sushi, plus a Miso Soup. Every piece of fish was incredibly fresh and delicious. $52. Sweet Dreams - Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must for Uni lovers. Sweet shrimp topped with scallops and Uni, the texture is phenomenal. They even deep-fry the shrimp heads for you. $30 for 2pcs. Truffle Salmon - Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This salmon is truly unique as it's aged, drizzled with truffle oil, topped with black truffle, and lightly torched – it melts in your mouth. $14 for 2pcs. 📍 4925 SW Angel Ave 110, Beaverton, OR 97005 ⏰ Monday-Thursday: 4:30PM-8:30PM Friday & Saturday: 4:30PM-9:00PM Sunday: Closed.
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.

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...
This Local Maine Restaurant Has the Best BBQ in the State
Maine has loads of great BBQ joints, but this one, in particular, is apparently the best in our entire Pine Tree State. While our state may not be necessarily 'famous' for barbecue, we still appreciate a good BBQ meal. While we might not match the expertise of Kansas City, the Carolinas, Memphis, and Texas, known for their own distinct styles, we can still get in on the action up here in our neck of the woods.
