Sometimes about Portland, Maine or not! Wednesday, August 25, 2010. Havana, Fit For A 1st Meal. When I made plans to take the Canon In The Parks Video Workshop, in Bar Harbor this past weekend, I put in a call to Michael Boland, co-owner of Havana, to see if I could shoot in his kitchen, on Sunday night. He said, "Great, come on in! When I arrived about 6:15 the place was starting to fill up. The well stocked wine cellar is affixed to the side of the back dining room and has a large window between them.

Sometimes about Portland, Maine or not! Sunday, January 31, 2010. Saturday Night at the Ice Bar. Stopped by late for a quick peek at the Ice bar on Saturday night. They were really excited by the turnout for all three days, over 3000 tickets, and expect to hand over a big check to charity.

Sometimes about Portland, Maine or not! Wednesday, March 24, 2010. Vignola Whole Hog Dinner. This is my next to the last post before I'm off to Europe, where I hope to post regularly about anything that catches my eye. I'm sure there will be food involved somehow. I have a lead on a restaurant kitchen in Paris and hoping to do more in Prague and Budapest. Now in addition to the different parts of the animal that they prepare on site the day of the dinner, they bring in specialty items as well. It's the f...

PortlandTown: September 2010

Sometimes about Portland, Maine or not! Wednesday, September 29, 2010. I had a pretty decent slice of apple cranberry pie. Local Sprouts couldn't keep up with demand for there pea soup on sunday in the damp and cold. It showed promise but of course it didn't time to really come together, but it was hot. The farmers market had lots of really nice looking produce including Sparrow Arc Farm which supplies some of the better restaurants in Maine and beyond with fresh products. Fingers Look Like Carrots!

Well I survived the Incredible Breakfast Cook-Off in the sense that I'm not lying on my stomach with a heating pad on my back, but I was in no shape to pick up a camera today. Maybe I should just go out to eat, there are plenty of good deals and lots of restaurants I haven't tried yet. Here are 3 images from Restaurant Week 2010. A salad from the Sea Grass Bistro in Yarmouth. Scallops at the Back Bay Grill in Portland. Friday, March 4, 2011.
