If you love Portland, then you know that new restaurants are part of this city’s amazing charm. And if you’ve been to Portland recently, then you’ll also know about Slab. What’s there to know? My personal opinion is this is definitely one of my new favorite restaurants in the area. Here’s why!    

Hello again, foodies and followers! Yes, it’s been a while since my last post, but I can explain. I went to LA for a week to visit a friend (and we had many foodie adventures) and now I’m in the process of moving. To say things have been a bit chaotic would be an understatement […]

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ll know that poutine is one of the hot food topics, right now. You’d also know that Portland has been ahead of the curve for a while, and there are multiple restaurants that are serving their interpretation of poutine. Last time, it was a close call between Duckfat […]

It’s almost Mother’s Day! Before you panic, remember that we live in Portland, the city with more choices than you know what to do with. If my mother were in town (sadly she’s in Chicago) these are the places I would take her! 1. Petite Jacqeline: My mom isn’t always the easiest person to please, […]

Normally in Maine, the topic at hand is seafood. Who has the best, who is the freshest, etc. Today it’s all about the pulled pork sandwich. Over the last few months, I’ve tried some impressive selections, from The Thirsty Pig, Hot Suppa, Blue Rooster, and almost but not quite, Salvage BBQ. Let it be known, […]

Dessert is the best meal of the day to me, and The Bar of Chocolate in the Old Port deserves some recognition. As a chocoholic, I’ve never found a place that quenches my endless thirst for chocolate and dessert quite like they do. From alcoholic beverages to the perfect dessert to end your night, The […]

So, many Portlanders may not know, but Empire has went back to its original roots: a Chinese restaurant. It was the first Chinese restaurant to ever open in Portland back in 1916. However, it’s been known as the Empire Dine and Dance for a while now, serving as a venue for music and performances. And […]

Though Mexican has never really been my thing, the one restaurant that I keep coming back to is Taco Escobarr. Located right across the street from Nosh, I am compelled to eat their delicious tacos. Granted, I have never considered myself a fan of Mexican food. Sure, the occasional burrito and taco is consumed, but […]
