Maine Restaurants
One of my favorite things to do on a random weekend is take a trip around the state to a new establishment to eat. My wife and I will drive hours based on a review, article, tip, social media post...you get the point.
It's fun. It's quite adventurous. And it always satisfies the pallet.
While traveling this state, we have found amazing diners, great pubs, outstanding sandwich shops, and delicious coffee. They are all over the place, from coastal cities to the small western hamlets.
Maine's Food Scene
We spend massive amounts of time discussing and dissecting every little aspect about the Maine food scene. We all have our favorites. We all defend our Maine foodie opinions until we are blue in the face. It's easy to do when the food culture is so vast and delicious.
But where do the favorites come from? Where's the best pizza? Best sandwich? Where will one find the best lobster roll? Maine's favorite restaurant food items has always been a fascination of mine.
