Eating and drinking my way through Maine
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.
Food and Wine came to Portland and of course loved what they found! Follow the link and you will see more than a few of their favorite things from: Duckfat, Central Provisions, Eventide Oyster Co., Fore St and more.
I was happy to see my personal favorites foe gras from Central Provisions and the lobster roll at Eventide made the list. Happy, happy!
Perfection!

A few photos from Cultivating Community’s children’s garden. They are a great organization that teaches children and new Americans to farm in Maine’s rocky soil. These photos were taken at Turkey Hill Farm in Cape Elizabeth, just prior to a dinner to raise awareness of the cause. The dinner was generously prepared by The East Ender.
