Profile of Bunker Brewing
LiveWork Portland has published a profile of Bunker Brewing.
Essentially a one-man operation, Bunker Brewing takes a very hands-on craft approach to each of its batches. When I visited a few days ago, Chresten was working on an Oktoberfest ale and a wet hop pale ale to debut at the Portland Brew Fest…
Review of Grace
Eat Maine has published a review of Grace.
My personal favorite of the evening is my next course: New Zealand cockles, sausage, brioche croutons, and butter-poached razor clams in a pool of romesco broth. The razor clams, which have been removed from the shell, impart the sensation of eating a sweet lobster tail dripping with warm drawn butter. A showering of parsley brightens the flavor and tightens the warmly spiced dish as a whole.

Youth Program at Wolf’s Neck Farm
The Forecaster has a report on a youth program that’s provided four teens with the experience of working on a farm.
By the end of the week, the small crew will have followed as much as 5,000 pounds of produce from seed to table, and donated it to food pantries in Freeport and Brunswick, while learning about all aspects of farming.
Middle Street, Dogfish Bar, Bunker Brewing
Today’s Press Herald has published a review of the Middle Street Cafe,
I had a similar sandwich at Mom’s Cafe for about a buck more, but with its dark green lettuce and thick-cut bacon cooked fresh on the premises, it was worth that extra dollar. The Middle Street Cafe version of a turkey club was fine as sandwiches go; it just didn’t wow me. And there’s certainly no law that says every sandwich should be a religious experience. Sometimes, a sandwich is just a sandwich.
as well as a bar review of The Dogfish Bar & Grille, and an article about Bunker Brewing.
