Congratulations to The Quarry (@thequarrymonson) i

Congratulations to The Quarry (@thequarrymonson) in Monson, Maine on winning the 2023 James Beard Award for Outstanding Hospitality.
Chef/owner Marilou ‘Lulu’ Ranta accepted the award tonight at the awards ceremony in Chicago, “I never dreamed this—never in my wildest that I’d be standing here today. I just have my restaurant in what I call the boonies, and somehow Mr. Beard still found me. Don’t stop believing, please keep working. I want to thank my husband. He told me I have a Sisu in me.” Sisu is a Finnish word that Ranta explained embodies perseverance, moxie and other qualities.
11 Maine chefs and restaurants were semifinalists in 2023. Maine chefs, restaurants and food professionals have won 10 awards since the Beard Awards program began: five in the Best Chef Northeast category, one in the Outstanding Wine, Beer or Spirits Producer category, one in the Outstanding Hospitality category and three America’s Classics winners. Nezinscot Farm (@nezinscotfarm) in Turner, Maine was announced as an America’s Classic award winner earlier this year.

Oxbow Brewing (@oxbowbrewingcompany) and Hardshore

Oxbow Brewing (@oxbowbrewingcompany) and Hardshore Distilling (@hardshoredistilling) have leased the former Maine Mead Works space on Washington Ave. The move provides both with an opportunity to expand their production capacity and rework their tasting rooms (see 4th image for the floor plan).
Hardshore will be moving their bar into the new space and expanding seating in their current service area. Similarly, Oxbow is moving their tasting room to their section of the former meadery with the current Oxbow tasting room will be available for events and for overflow capacity. Construction of the new Oxbow and Hardshore tasting rooms are already underway and both business hope to open later this summer.
Seasonal outdoor seating will be available at the front of the building along Washington Ave with a food truck from Eaux (@eauxportland) center stage in the new development. Owner Evan Richardson will be serving Eaux’s famed chicken and waffles along with a vegetarian Hen of the Woods mushroom and waffles option and other dishes from the former Eaux menu. The food truck will be launching in early June and will be open Thursday though Monday, 4 – 9ish. #chickenandwaffles #henofthewoodsmushrooms #innerwashingtonave
