Portland Food Map
Instagram post 18127163992032191 A new column launched on Portland Food Map today (link in bio). My Kitchen, Their Table is an interview series with the chefs and culinary professionals who work hard to satisfy our small city’s big appetite. Thanks to the generous sponsorship of @evergreen_credit_union, each month you’ll find a new Q&A posted on the Portland Food Map website (www.portlandfoodmap.com). Photos and videos will continue to expand on the story throughout the month on Instagram. In the first few months, you’ll see how Chad Conley prepares the ultimate tuna melt at @palacediner, and where he takes visitors to show them the “soul of Portland.” You’ll learn how Bowman Brown makes Elda’s (@elda.maine) iconic lobster dish so succulent, and watch a chef he respects construct a dish that truly blows him away. The series kicked off this morning with the first Q&A, featuring Courtney Loreg, the chef at Woodford Food & Beverage (@woodford_fb). This series has been created with PFM’s new roving reporter, Angela Andre (@angandre). Angela has a Masters of Arts in Food Studies from NYU, works in the seafood industry, and is a talented food writer and home cook. It’s been fun to work with her to pull this all together and we’re excited for you to experience the fruits of her labor. Check back tomorrow here on instagram for a story on how Courtney Loreg (@courtneyloreg) builds and broils her popular brisket burger. Then, stay tuned throughout the rest of the month to hear, see, and read about her favorite Portland restaurants and dishes. #mykitchentheirtable #portlandmaine #courtneyloreg #woodfordfandb #chefinterview #portlandfoodmap #mainechefs
Instagram post 18082946656156442 @magnusonwater opened in Biddeford last night to a packed house. The cocktail program was created by Brian Catapang (3rd photo), the food by Ryan Nielsen and front of house hospitality by Brittany Saliwanchik, all in partnership with co-owners Julia Russell and Carmen Harris. Shown here is a Bubble Kid low ABV cocktail (capertif, cardamaro, sea salt, vanilla, sparkling pear) and an excellent seafood crudo (2nd photo) made with @gulfofmainesashimi scallops, leche de tigre and puffed rice. Magnus opens six days a week at 5 pm (closed Tuesdays), and is located at 12 Water Street. #biddefordmaine #magnusonwater #bubblekid #scallopcrudo #lowabvcocktails #capertif #cardamaro
Instagram post 17855487487732175 With temps in the single digits this morning a warm cup of @tandemcoffeeroasters turmeric steel cut oatmeal felt like the right way to start the day. The @mainegrains oats are topped with golden raisins, cocoa nibs, sesame seeds and coconut milk. #portlandmaine #tumericoatmeal #steelcutoats #goldenraisins #mainefood
Instagram post 17857226389713190 What does the music of Sun Ra, 16th century Basque whaling ships, wanted posters, and Sherlock Holmes all have in common? Well in the mind of John Bunker, the preeminent American apple expert and resident of Palermo Maine, the answer is Apples of course! In 2019 the world of apple enthusiasts around the globe was enriched when Bunker published his new book Apples and the Art of Detection. Part instruction manual, part autobiography, and part history, Bunkers new book is fascinating start to finish. You can pick up at a copy at @rabelaisbooks or online at http://www.outonalimbapples.com/store. #outonalimb #applesandtheartofdetection #johnbunker #heirloomapples #maineapples #applehistory #applescience #appleidentification

Instagram post 17874279001521449 @woodford_fb is always a great choice for Sunday brunch. I knew walking in I was going to get one of chef Courtney Loreg’s brisket burgers which paired well with a glass of apple cider and thyme house sodas. #portlandmaine #woodfordfoodandbeverage #burger #brisketburger #ciderthyme
