Third boxcar, midnight train, Destination...Bangor, Maine.
Thanks for that review traccan. I am heading up that way tomorrow and have asked a couple of times here about The Eagle's Nest, as i want to hit their fish fry on Friday night.
Returning to Green Lake/Ellsworth - cheap blueberries?
Going up to Ellsworth area on Wednesday. Going to try the Eagle's Nest in Brewer for the first time. May go back to Bagaduce. Will definitely hit Mt. Desert Ice Cream (love their Blackstrap Banana). Anyione know where to look for blueberries while I'm up and what they are going for around the area?
Thanks
looking for help with our Down East Eating Adventure
I had a great time at the Maine Sea Salt Company. The owner is a great guy and will give you a small tour and explain how he does everything. If your heading down Rt. 1, Tracy's is a great roadside place for the best and cheapest lobster rolls and a great fried haddock (my favorite) sandwhich. And it has all you can eat haddock friday nights (as does Chester Pike's galley a few miles down the road). If you're heading to Bangor, Ellsworth is about 20 miles east and, I'm sure Keg would absolutely agree, Cleonice in Ellsworth is where to stop.

Eagles Nest Brewer Maine
Hi chowhounds! Going back up to Green Lake Maine in a few weeks. Looking for new places to eat. I'm reading really good things about the Eagles Nest in Brewer.....not far from Green Lake. Has anyone been there lately? I'm especially interested in their all-you-can-eat fish fry. Anyone know what days they feature this and what kind of fish they use?
Thanks

Any news on where the President and first family ate on MDI?
I alaways stop at Mt. Desert Ice Cream when I'm up there. I love it!

Posted this on another thread........
Sorry I missed you on my trip up there Keg. Too much to do and too little time. I did check out Tracey's in Sullivan, where Dad had a lobster roll which he loved and i had haddock burger. Also sweet potato pancakes at Martha's were quite good, though when I pointed out to the waitress that my side of corned beef hash was from a can, she told me I was the first person she knew who had noticed that. I hope to get up there agin this summer. We will get a bite together and I will come bearing Taylor's Pork Roll and scrapple!

Breakfast on I 85 before Charlotte
Hi all! Travelling from Atlanta to Delaware tomorrow. Leaving Atlanta around 4am am looking to drive about 6 hours before stopping for breakfast. That should put me in the Spartanburg or Gastonia area (not sure if I can make it all the way to Charlotte). Any ideas for a good southern breakfast spot?
Thanks!

Results from a long weekend around Belfast, ME
I had the Blackstrap Banana ice cream and Basil Blueberry Sorbet when I went to Mt. Desert. Truly superb.
Stockbridge, GA cheap eats
Hi All!
Would appreciate some advice....I am going to be in Stockbridge for about a week in August and am looking for some good inexpensive places to take my mother-in-law while I am there. I will have a cars, so short trips for good food is fine. We are mostly a "meat and three" type group, but do like italian, good fish, southern, cajun. Thanks for any help!

Also got to add, although this has nothing to do with diners, props to the local Hannaford in Brewer. I really like this store and got some nice freshh haddock which we prepare on our grill our first night. They also carry Squire Mountain tub cheese which I simply love. I stock up every time I travel up to Maine, but, unfortunately couldn't do so this trip as I was travelling home by bus and train and didn't know how it would last.

Finally got back to Philly and settled down. Had some good eats while in Maine. Brief recap:
The Haddock sandwich at Bet's in Bath was great,then hit Fat Boy in Brunswick for a blueberry Frappe. Dad liked his lobster roll there and loved the fact that he was across from the airfield where he was first taken after enlisting in WWII. But even Bet's paled with the sandwich at Bagaduce. And those onion rings! Some of the best I've ever had. Then a trip up the coast to Machias. Stopped and got a little chevre from the Painted Pepper to go with a baguette I got from Wild Flour bakery both in Steuben. Stopped at the Maine sea Salt Co.. Got a tour and picked up some wonderful Apple Wood smoked, Hickory smoked, herbed seasoned and garlic sea salt. Grilling will be great this summer! Got to tell ya Passy, thought of you as we saw the signs for Tunk Lake, but my mind was really focused on Chester Pike's Friday Fish Fry. Got there early (4.25) and they were just litting people in. By 4.45 the place was packed. 2 huge fillets of haddock, veggies and potato to start. I had barely finished my first fillet when our server asked if i wanted more. Dad could only get through 1 fillet and had to take the rest home with him! Also hit the Mt. Desert Ice cream Co. - both locations. Fisrt stop, wonderfully creamy Blackstrap Banana ice cream. After a ride around Acadia, stopped at the downtown location and got some Blueberry Basil sorbet which was heavenly. Also hit Dysart's for Sunday Breakfast. Huge, but nothing to write home about. I can't believe I spent a week up in Maine with no whoopie pies, but did get a blueberry muffin from the Brothers in Bangor. Can't wait to go back and eat some more!
Maine Sea Salt
Hi!
Does anyone use this? I saw this on the Food Network and want to pick up some when I visit in a couple of weeks or go on the tour at the factory.
Best Bakery in the North End
Hi!
I will be in Boston for a couple of days in June and I was wonder who do you think has the best pastries in the North End? Since I will be travelling by train from Boston to Philly, I probably won't be able to take anything back with me, so I want to indulge while I am in Boston.
Thanks

I really love that area. Dad grew up in Winterport and thats where I spent summers as a kid. Including a couple of weeks at Camp Jordan. Shame that since Senior year in High School (at Kent's Hill) I've been allergic to shellfish! :( Miss my lobsters and fried clams

Will definitely try to hit Bagaduce. Saw that it was awarded the James Beard America's Classics. The only other place I've eaten that has won that award - Wille Mae's Scotch House in New Orleans - is one of my favorite restaurants of all time. Does Chester Pike's still have their Friday Fish Fry?
Or should I look to the Trenton Lighthouse to see if they have theirs?
Maine diners/dives
Heading back up to Ellsworth early June. Looking to hit my favorites diners: Moody's, Dysarts, Big G's, Jordan's Snack Bar. Any other diners I should hit on my visit?
Thanks!
