Mr. Tuna has announced that an all star guest chef series that they’ve organized for 2026. It will bring 11 chefs from 9 states and 1 Canadian province to Maine January through June to collaborate with chef/owner Jordan Rubin on a dinner.
We are thrilled to announce Tuna & Friend a guest chef pop-up dinner series celebrating sustainable seafood! Running from January to June, we’re bringing in chefs from across North America to create an a la carte menu inspired by New England’s natural bounty, with additional dishes shaped by each chef’s own influences. Along the way, visiting chefs will explore Portland’s working waterfront—from Upstream Portland and Bangs Island Mussels to the Gulf of Maine Research Institute (GMRI) and other community treasures—gaining firsthand insight into where Maine’s seafood is sourced and how it’s handled.
