Carhop service still exists in Maine, and at least one seafood stand uses it to bring fried clams straight to your car window. I love that so much. Lobster and clams on a dashboard tray feel like a road trip that already reached its happy ending. Other stops ahead sit...

This Maine Butcher Shop Serves Fresh Meat That Beats Anything At The Supermarket

Sausages get made right behind the counter here, sometimes while shoppers stand there watching. That’s my kind of grocery trip. This Maine butcher shop works with whole animals from local farms. That means the steak, pork, and chicken have a short trip from pasture to counter. The shelves go...

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.

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. A third has been turning out old-school cakes and pastries long enough to earn a reputation as an enduring local favorite.

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.

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

This Short Maine Coastal Trail Has Giant Stone Stairs And Spectacular November Ocean Views

A strip of dark rock about 200 million years old drops toward the sea in steps big enough for a giant. That’s not a figure of speech. Molten material once filled cracks in older rock, hardened into basalt, and slowly wore into a stone staircase. I had no idea a trail this short could pack so much drama. The full walk is only about half a mile round trip.

Olive, Again by Elizabeth Strout

Elizabeth Strout is a fine writer, and novels such as The Burgess Boys and My Name Is Lucy Barton are very good. Still, Olive Kitteridge, her 2009 Pulitzer Prize-winning collection of interrelated stories, has an immediacy and fierceness that one finds in only the very greatest books. Sequels nearly always disappoint, and it cannot be said that Olive, Again has quite the range and power of its predecessor. Nevertheless, the book does an excellent job of revivifying the ill-tempered, truth-telling Olive and her neighbors in and around fictional Crosby, Maine.
