Little Bigs!!!!

If home is where the heart is, then little Bigs must be my home away from home. I just love them that much! Their donut creations are just so amazing! I can best describe their raised donuts as Crispy fried joy with a pillowy core. Absolutely life affirming bites of happiness!

But wait there’s more! First time visitors please note that their pasties are equally amazing! Golden hand-formed crusts of a dizzying variety, filled with such beautiful things as “real” Texas chili, Thai chicken bursting with flavor and my favorite cheeseburger with tomato jam!!

For those in the know, crossing the bridge in to South Portland means a mandatory stop at this hidden gem!Pictured Below: Pb&J, Glazed Cininmon swirl Stick, Bismarck, Dark chocolate Ganache Raised, Cheeseburger, Texas Chili.

Dubbel Shot ale

Dubbel Shot ale from Barreled Souls Brewery in Saco,is a Belgian style ale with with cold brewed coffee. It’s a wonderfully complex high alcohol brew, reminiscent of a fine dry port but much more drinkable.
I plan on pairing my growler with some beef short ribs that have been simmering all day.

Timber-It’s where I go to eat meat!

Timber Steakhouse & Rotisserie is the place to go in Portland if you like to eat meat. Feel like a steak, on our first visit my wife and I shared a 24 Oz dry aged ribeye that was fantastic. Bigger than my head yet so tender and flavorful. We left in a meat haze and still had left-overs!

On our latest visit we were drawn in by their new Wednesday and Sunday nigh offering of prime rib. Seeing this once ubiquitous cut of meat on Timber’s menu made me very happy as it had become virtually extinct in the area. Oh so tender and so, so meaty! At $29 it is not inexpensive but this huge slab of meat served with super-creamy mashed potatoes and tarragon sliced carrots, represents the best of Americana and should not be missed.
They also have a huge whisky selection.
