Here’s a new set of photos from our project to v Here’s a new set of photos from our project to venture outside the Portland area to visit restaurants, bars, bakeries and other food venues in all of Maine’s sixteen counties. It’s been really interesting to experience the different ways people across the state are bringing Maine food culture to life for their communities. In this post are businesses in 5 Maine counties: Sagadahoc, Hancock, Penobscot, Piscataquis, and Knox. The details (in order of the photos): an Olandesina pastry and cortado at @solopanepasticceria in Bath, @provenderkitchen in Ellsworth, bison taco at Bissell Brothers in Milo (@bbbthreerivers), the dining room at @thequarrymonson in Monson, @saltwharf in Camden, @peace.love.waffles and The Mill Cafe (@dfmillcafe) in Dover-Foxcroft, the dining room at the @blairhillinn near Moosehead Lake, North & Southeats (@north_southeats) in Brownville Junction, and @westmarketsquarecoffee in Bangor. **Do you have a favorite spot outside the Portland area? Tag or mention them in the comments here and we’ll keep them in mind for future travel.** See earlier posts on June 23rd, July 6th, August 5th, September 13th and October 27th for more Maine road-trip restaurant photos. #16countieseats #mainefood #mainefoodmap #olandesina #bisontacos #piscataquiscounty
