Harvest on the Harbor
The Food & Dining section in today’s Press Herald provides an overview of Harvest on the Harbor, the Portland food festival taking place later this month. The article includes interviews with chefs and highlights of some of the key events.
Chef Michael Ruoss has enjoyed watching Portland’s reputation as a food town grow ever since he toiled in the student kitchens at Southern Maine Community College.
Ruoss worked at the Seaman’s Club and the Snow Squall just across the bridge, then went on to make a name for himself in New Orleans.
He worked his way up to chef de cuisine at Emeril Lagasse’s flagship restaurant, NOLA, and now works on developing new restaurants with a restaurant group called 3 of a Kind.

Open Creamery Day & Herring Fishery
Today’s Press Herald includes an article on the 2010 Open Creamery Day taking place Sunday October 10,
“We’ll give out samples and people will get to see the farm and animals. There’s sheep and goats — we have little ones running around — and a guard llama. Coyotes got a lot of our sheep a few years ago, so we got her and haven’t had any problems since.”
Koons said it is important that people know where their food comes from and how it is produced. Open Creamery Day is a great way to teach people, she said.
Visit the Maine Cheese Guild website for more information on Open Creamery Day and a list of participating cheese makers.
The paper also includes a report on new efforts to manage the herring fishery.
Herring’s ecological importance is enormous, because it is a major food source for groundfish, marine mammals, tuna and other species. It also is the preferred bait for Maine’s 5,800 lobstermen — whose industry generates $300 million a year in sales and employs thousands of workers at processing plants, dealerships and restaurants.
