The Blueberry Files has published a review of Binga’s Stadium.
So, TV and beer? Yes. Food? Wings? Hell no. Pass! I bet they can fry french fries alright (not the sweet potato fries- those are breaded and gross), so maybe a plate of fries is as far as I’d go. But after a few beers and the drunk munchies kick in, we’ll see how long my no food at the Stadium rule lasts.
According to a report in the American Journal, Smiling Hill Farm in Westbrook is planning to get into the hydroponic tomato business. (via Westbrook Diarist)
The hydroponic vine-cluster tomatoes Smiling Hill would grow would be red and ripe when they left the greenhouse to go to customers in Maine and places like Boston and New York.

The Blueberry Files has published a review of Bayside Bowl.
I just may be the last person in town to make it to Bayside Bowl, and I’m glad I finally did. Of course, there’s the bowling, which is awesome (I decided I should go more, so I don’t throw every other ball in the gutter), but I was happy to learn that the food is good too.

The Portland Phoenix has published a triple scoop review of Harbor Scoops, Mount Desert Island Ice Cream and Willard Scoops.
What explains the current craze for ice cream in Maine, which has resulted in several new businesses and recently overcame the nation’s President? Sure, it’s one of the hottest summers on record, and yes, ice cream is an affordable indulgence in a tough economy. But gazing upon the transfigured visage of a Mainer mid-lick, it is clear ice cream’s appeal lies deeper. As I have previously argued in these pages, desserts play to different parts of our psyche. Ice cream goes straight for the Id. In licking a cone, the unconquered infant within achieves regressive union with the milky sweetness.
