The New York Times Loves Flanagan’s Table Too!

20140224-081430.jpg

Attached is a great article singing the praises of  Gail Landry, and my favorite monthly dinner series Flanagan’s Table. If you ever get a chance to get tickets to one of these events, you should leap at the chance. The dinners are presided over by Gail’s daughter Alex Wight, a dynamo chef in her own right and the best hostess the state of Maine has ever seen! See the New York Times for the full article.

Ps. Love good food and feeding hungry children. Gail and her family are also doing their part to reduce childhood hunger.  Please check out Share Our Strength, they will be auctioning off a celebrity chef dinner at Flanagan’s Table soon.

Miyake’s Secret

As I have written before Masa Miyake is Portland, Maine’s master of sea food and pork fat. It’s no surprise that it can be difficult to acquire a dinner reservation at his flagship Miyake Fore St. restaurant during the summer months.
The insider secret is that midweek you can usually walk in at lunch without a reservation. Whenever you go, you will be served a meal to be remembered.
Pork belly, tuna tartare, and chirashi pictured below.
