PORTLAND, Maine — Early each morning, a free email called "Eat Drink Lucky" goes out to more than 10,000 subscribers. It offers ideas for something fun to eat, drink, and do in southern Maine, especially in Portland and surrounding towns.
Eat Drink Lucky has just come out with its second "Must Eat" list. It features 71 individual dishes or snacks or sweet treats available in the Portland area, most of them fairly easy on the wallet. You can eat them at a restaurant or perhaps get them to go. The idea is to shine a light on dishes that are fun, tasty, and affordable, although there is the occasional splurge offering.
The list has recommendations for just about every taste. Fried chicken? Check. Foie gras nigiri? Yup. Raspberry s’mores? Got ‘em.
Three restaurateurs from Portland joined us on 207 to talk about the list, and you will not be surprised to find they all have items that made the cut. Our three guests are Cecily Upton from Friends + Family, Krista Cole from Sur Lie, and Jordan Rubin from Bar Futo, Crispy Gai, and Mr. Tuna.
