Chef Lee Frank’s Mazon opening soon at former Arrows site in York
YORK, Maine — Chef Lee Frank has been renovating a 1750 farmhouse for the last five to six months and is ready to open his new restaurant at the former home of Arrows. Mazon, now sporting a fully renovated interior, is expected to open by Nov. 29. Frank said the restaurant will offer multi‑course meals reminiscent of his work at Otis in Exeter . After several months focused solely on “flipping burgers” at his Lee Frank’s burger locations in Exeter and South Berwick, he’s eager to return to fine‑dining cooking. “Definitely excited to get back in the kitchen and start,” Frank said. “It feels like it’s been a very long time.” The opening is an exciting new chapter for Frank and his family, as his wife, Brooke, is heavily involved in opening Mazon. The property is special to the couple, as they met while working under the owners of Arrows’ other location, MC Perkins Cove. Brooke was also pregnant with their child when Frank moved up to working at Arrows under the Frank Beard award-winning chefs who owned it — Mark Gaier and Clark Frasier. Working at Arrows was a big step for Frank, who went on to be nominated
