We Ranked 6 Of Southern Maine’s Best Steakhouses And One Stood Above The Rest

One steakhouse on this list melts blue cheese garlic butter right over the top of its steaks. I read that once and could not stop thinking about it. Butter and blue cheese, together, on beef? Somebody deserves a medal. The surprises keep coming. One spot cooks over wood fire with an Argentinian spirit. Another turns its milkshakes into giant, shareable desserts made with artisan gelato.

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

Forget Boring Grocery Runs Because These Maine Markets Make Christmas Food Shopping Feel Special

One Maine grocery stop on this list built its name on sauerkraut. Yes, the humble fermented cabbage somehow became the headliner, and I love that more than I can explain. The rest of the lineup gets just as fun. One market runs a full-service butcher counter beside rows of local goods. Another bakes fresh desserts in the middle of a harbor town, and a co-op stocks bulk spices perfect for holiday cookies.

Greater Portland’s 9 Best Under-The-Radar Thrift Shops For Incredible Bargains

Somewhere in southern Maine, you can buy secondhand clothes by the pound. Not by the shirt or the hanger, but by weight, straight out of rolling bins. That detail alone sent me down a rabbit hole. My list grew fast: a church shop with old-school prices, a community center closet open only a few mornings a week, and a resale spot that invites you to race to the rack.

6 Maine Bakeries Where You Can Skip The Thanksgiving Baking Without Sacrificing Dessert

One Maine pie stand runs on the honor system. You pick out a homemade fruit pie, drop your cash in a box, and head home with dessert handled. I love that kind of trust. Another spot on this list sits on a quiet coastal road and sells wild blueberry pies with buttery, flaky crusts.
