Nick Yee, the owner of the Kuno food truck (@kunom Nick Yee, the owner of the Kuno food truck (@kunomaine) has leased 166 Cumberland Ave where he plans to open a brick and mortar restaurant of the same name. Kuno will be serving an expanded menu of Southeast Asian dishes and his family recipes with a full bar. Yee hopes to open the restaurant in September, and in the meantime will be offering takeout using the food truck kitchen and delivery through services like @2dinein. Yee launched the Kuno food truck in February of 2019. #portlandmaine #kuno #peranakanfood #eastbayside
@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
