An article in today’s Press Herald reports on restaurants that sublease access to their space to second business during off hours.
The idea of restaurants sharing their kitchens has been coming to life all over the country in the past three to five years, and the trend has recently reached Maine. Portlanders may immediately think of the former Good Egg Cafe and Pepperclub, restaurants that were housed in the same Old Port space. But today’s arrangements are different. The Good Egg and Pepperclub were owned by one person, while these new arrangements are marriages of two or more businesses and take shape in myriad ways.
I really wish someone would share the Uncle Andy’s space in Millcreek. This area seriously needs good mid-range, family-friendly dining.
