Mainebiz has published a report on a pair of Bar Harbor eateries, Mt Dessert Island Ice Cream and Havana South, that have opened/are opening branches in Portland.
[MDI Ice Cream owner Linda] Parker says one of the things that influenced her decision is that Portland has a strong reputation as a gourmet food destination, and she views her ice cream as part of that fare. “I am really excited to be here because it is a very foodie city,” she says.
