Southern Maine: Bite By Bite

It would take me less time to describe what I didn’t eat in Maine during my five-day vacation. (One word: Vegetables.) Here’s a photo roundup of our trip’s most delectable moments. And some scenery for good measure.

Lobster roll at Billy's Chowder House, Wells

Lobster x 2 roll, Black Sushi House, Ogunquit

Lobster roll at Jackie's Too, Perkins Cove, Ogunquit

Tournedo al porcini pizza (shaved steak, truffle oil, porcini mushrooms) at Caffe Prego, Ogunquit

Burger on sourdough with avocado-tomatillo salsa at MC Perkins Cove, Ogunquit

Tuna carpaccio with avocado tempura at MC Perkins Cove

Twin lobster special at Cape Neddick Lobster Pound

Fries at Duckfat, Portland (literally fried in duckfat and served with incredible truffle ketchup)

"BGT" panini at Duckfat (bacon, goat cheese, tomato)

"Baker's Dozen" oysters at J's Oyster Bar, Portland

Manhattan with house-infused vanilla bourbon at Fore Street, Portland

Hanger steak with braised oxtail at Fore Street

Whole roasted black sea bass with tarragon pan sauce at Fore Street

Rob's birthday dessert at Fore Street: dark chocolate torte with bourbon-molasses ice cream

An appropriate Maine-style birthday cake: whoopie pie!

And now for the actual scenery:

Looks like you had a fun time! This was a fun post – thanks.

In that “Maine theme”, here’s an article from HuffPost Food, revealing a week in the life of a Maine lobsterman. I enjoyed it and I hope you find it interesting as well.
