@littleeasysnoballs launched yesterday at Back Cov @littleeasysnoballs launched yesterday at Back Cove. Owner Lauren Gauthier always wanted to have her own snoball stand while growing up in Southern Louisiana. After she and her wife Cassie Pruyn moved to Portland last summer Gauthier began working on Little Easy to bring a taste of home with her. Little Easy has 30+ flavors (3rd photo) of snoballs you can also get yours topped with marshmallow fluff, condensed milk or “stuffed” with ice cream. I went for a peach flavored snoball with ice cream (2nd photo). #portlandmaine #snoballs #littleeasysnoballs #stuffedsnoball #peachsnoball
I wandered into @oxbowbrewingcompany on Washington I wandered into @oxbowbrewingcompany on Washington Ave for a beer last week and happily was able to score some food from the Oxbow Grill which is in operation on Monday and Tuesday evenings. Shown here is a wild blueberry and chanterelle sausage with dandelion green, pencil cob grits and a mustard pork jus created by chef Peter Uzzell (@puzzell27). #portlandmaine #oxbowbrewingcompany #chantrellemushrooms #sausageandgrits #dandeliongreens
I had dinner this week on the back patio at @chava I had dinner this week on the back patio at @chavalmaine. When you go be sure to get Grilled Maine Bluefin served with fennel, tomatoes, olives, vadouvan and olive oil. Do not depart without getting the Strawberries and Cream for dessert: strawberry sorbet, yogurt and lemon sherbert, meringue, vanilla cream, strawberries and blueberries. Visit their restaurant on Pine Street in the West End and follow the colorful path (last photo) to the entrance to the patio. The patio is open Wednesday through Saturday – you can make a reservation on their website. #portlandmaine #bluefin #strawberriesandcream #outdoordining
@leewardmaine has reopened for outdoor dining. A f @leewardmaine has reopened for outdoor dining. A friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner last night on their outdoor deck on Free Street. Shown here are a chicory salad with shaved fennel and candied walnuts, a summer appetizer of burrata with summer squash and peaches, English pea agnolotti, a pork cotoletta with potato salad and cabbage, and for dessert olive oil cake topped with raspberries in a pool of buttermilk anglaise as well as a trio of gelatos and sorbettos. You can’t go wrong with a glass of the 2019 Post-Flirtation wine from @marthastoumen in Mendocino. @leewardmaine was the last meal I had before the pandemic hit and I’m so glad I’ve gotten the chance to return and experience their food and hospitality again. They’re open Tuesday through Saturday 5 - 9 for takeout and outdoor dining. #portlandmaine #freshpasta #burrataandpeaches #porkcotoletta #naturalwine #oliveoilcake
A new food truck called @actual_foods launched on A new food truck called @actual_foods launched on Friday and I just caught up with them on the Western Prom where they’re set up near Maine Med. The menu is a choose your own adventure model where you select the protein, carbs, greens, veggies and sauce you want and then owner Steffy Amondi prepares a custom meal just for you. I went for a combo of chicken, wild rice, kale, and cherry tomatoes with a ginger scallion sauce. It was delicious. #portlandmaine #actualfoods #mainefoodtrucks #gingerscallion #mainefood
An urban farming company called Vertical Harvest ( An urban farming company called Vertical Harvest (@verticalharvestfarms) is planning to build their second hydroponic vertical greenhouse in downtown Westbrook. Co-founders Nona Yehia and Caroline Estay expect to start construction in 2021. Vertical Harvest provides "consistent, meaningful employment" for people with intellectual and physical disabilities. Their focus is to "create partnerships to build cost effective, profitable hydroponic farms that will not only act as innovative urban models for growing fresh food, but will have a substantial social impact." The company anticipates bringing 50 full-time equivalent jobs to Westbrook. According to the press release, “The 70,000 square-foot Vertical Harvest Westbrook located on Mechanic Street will initially grow a variety of microgreens and lettuces. It’s estimated this vertical farm will produce a million pounds of produce per year. In addition to wholesale partnerships with hospitals, corporate cafeterias, schools, chefs, restaurants, caterers and more, the Westbrook location will also have a consumer marketplace and plans for a presence at farmer’s markets.” For more information see the article on portlandfoodmap.com (link in bio). #westbrookmaine #verticalharvest #verticalgreenhouse #hydroponics #mainefood #mainefarming #microgreens
