Appetite Portland, a new food blog, has been added to the PFM directory. The author’s was inspired by the recent national press coverage of Portland to start up the site and to “document the delights of this city’s restaurants and food stores”.

Maine Beer Company has been added to the Food Map. The brewery evolved out of the owner’s own home brew experiments and is still a very small operation. I recently enjoyed a bottle of their Spring Peeper Ale, the bottle was from batch #2 and batch #3 is now showing up on store shelves. They’re located out on Portland’s Brewery Row on Industrial near Allagash, Casco and Geary’s. Tours are by appointment only.

A new local food site, DineInPortland.com, has been added to the blog list on the food map. DineInPortland.com plans on limiting its commentary to the “best of the best”. The narrower scope is balanced by continuing “to visit them to see how well they do in the long run.”

A new blog, Portland Food Heads, has started up. The blog, which just launched this weekend, promises, “Recipes, reviews, scene reports and more from the Forest City.”

Maine Foodie Tours has been added to the food map. They’re now offering two walking tours daily, the Old Port Culinary Tour and the Just Desserts Tour.

Bam Bam Bakery and Portland Wine Review have been added to the food map. Bam Bam is a gluten-free bakery and PWR is a new blog that produces reviews of wines that are available from local retailers.
