Palace Diner- The New King of Hash!

So glad I stopped by the Palace Diner. Maine’s oldest diner is now in the running with Gardner’s A1 to take the title of “Maine’s best chef driven diner”.
I just had the most joyful corned beef hash of my Life! So rich/crusty/yet still surprisingly moist. Seemingly impossible but this hash has it all. Even the chunks of potato in it were perfectly crisped and seasoned. I may never have hash again for fear that I will forevermore be disappointed. Even better yet, my meal came with a yumalicious side of marble rye toast and perfectly cooked farm fresh eggs.
Yippee!

Piccolo at Flanagan’s Table

You know you had a good time when you wake up to one of these delicious little packages from The Holy Donut because it means last night you had dinner at Flanagan’s Table

Lobster, lamb and the most amazing peach desert were among the highlights for me at this wonderful meal prepared by the husband and wife team of Damian Sansonetti and Ilma Lopez of Piccolo. Of course the best part is it all helps to support Maine Farmland Trust
