When Pigs Fly Pizzeria In Kittery-- any thoughts?
Very disappointing! Pizza was dry, toppings were meager. No bread for the table, which I thought odd, considering it's a bakery. And apparently they didn't receive their salt and pepper shakers, since I had to ask for the salt, then the server took it and gave it to someone else.
I will say the short rib app was excellent, and I will give it another shot, but, all in all, a big disappointment.
Foods that you are embarrassed to tell people you actually eat (a.k.a. foods you only eat when alone).
broiled onion bagels with mayo...and I love spam!
106 Kitchen & Bar - Portsmouth, NH
I totally agree. We've been there about 4 times, all good. Love the fries and gravy, maybe cuz I've never had it before. Even the sauteed brussel sprouts are good. We like to go on Monday nites for the fried chicken.
Roundabout Diner- meh
Was there once, had a disgusting rueben with 1 thick fatty slice of corned beef. Spouse had the chili, after tasting, asked what the heck was in it. The reply was bbq sauce. Never went back.
Anna & Kristina's Grocery Bag
Anyone catch this show on OWN? I think it's a pretty original concept, in each episode the two hosts choose a cookbook, then try out some of the recipes, then rate the cookbook. They have a professional chef judge the outcome of their attempts. I think what makes this show is the two hosts, they are fun to watch. It just started, so I may change my mind, but I think this is a great, fun show.
Good Food in or near Kittery, Maine
I would go with Robert's, across from the outlets. Excellent food, open for lunch and dinner.
looking for help with our Down East Eating Adventure
Instead of Lubec, go to Eastport and The Pickled Herring. The town is terrific, and so is the restaurant.
Longshot---any place to get a good Italian beef in Portland/Southern Maine area
It's never going to happen. We're from Chicago and I can tell u to save yourself the trouble. You won't find one (if u do, let me know!)
Captain Simeon's Galley, Kittery Maine
I'd just like to encourage anyone who's been here in the past and didn't like it to come back. New owner, new chef. The chef is from the North End and specializes in Italian seafood dishes. And the deck is just awesome. Sitting with a glass of wine in one of Maine's prettiest harbors and watching the tankers coming in to Portsmouth, does it get any better? The lobster roll is just stuffed with fresh lobster meat and a touch of mayo. I'm just afraid that if business doesn't pick up, the new owner will turn it all into condos and that would be tragic. If you like good food, and working harbors with amazing views, please come back and try it again. Sorry for rambling!
Top Chef Masters 2 Ep. #7 - 05/19/10 (Spoilers)
I have to say this show really annoys me. I love Top Chef, in fact I love all the chefs. I really dislike Oseland, it seems he just looks down his nose at everything, God, he rubs me the wrong way! And I don't like the judging systems. Hearing whats her name say "three stars" for some reason bugs the hell out of me. I would love for it to have the Top Chef judges and scoring. Anyway, sorry for the rant.
AJ's Wood Grill Pizza - Anneke Jans (Kittery)
Tried it the other night, not bad. Had the sausage. Would try it again. I should mention that we're originally from Chicago, and I have never had a pizza in the area that I loved.
Throwdown with Bobby Flay staged?
I never liked the premise of this show, esp with Bobby Flay. They should change the name to Be Humiliated by Bobby Flay Live! It doesn't even matter if he loses, the arrogance of this man is disgusting.
Nice Portsmouth Dinner on a Budget?
Personally, I prefer Cafe Med to Radici. It's less expensive with more choices. And the food is quite good. And I like Warrens, but I would never get anything there except seafood. I also like Common Man for less expensive and good food.
Sunday Lunch Near Midway
How about Portillo's? 62 Harlem, great burgers. Our go to place as soon as we land at Midway. Maybe 10 minutes away, depending on traffic.
Who makes the best pizza in New England?
I'm going with Finelli's. I live in Maine, but I'm from Chicago, which has the best pizza, yes, thin crust, but up here it's Finelli's.
Salem, MA recommendations
I highly recommend Bella Verona on Essex St. I thought it was fantastic. Inexpensive pasta dishes, best I've had in years, since we moved to Maine. It's across from the visitors center and parking garage.
Rhode Island - San Vivaldo or AlForno
We will only be there one night , anyone have an opinion on which would be the better choice? I keep hearing about the great Italian food in Providence, so with only one choice, I don't want to pick the wrong one. We were planning on AlForno till I read the review here of San Vivaldo. Anyone?
San Vivaldo Trattoria, Warwick review
I googled this restaurant, some sites post a menu (which looks great), other sites say there is no menu, you just tell the chef what you want. Can anyone clarify, I'm not sure if what I describe will be as good as what the chef makes. I'd rather a menu.
Mo Jo's BBQ Shack - Islington St., Portsmouth, NH
Just not impressed. I think the review came on too strong, it left me expecting a lot.
Polish in New Britain, Ct
I read recently that New Britain has a number of Polish restaurants. Anyone have any recs? I'm from Chicago, living in Maine, and would love some good Polish food. Thanks,
Wells, ME area
We ordered the chili at the Maine Diner, still have nightmares about it, it was gross. Have never been back - even the "decent" stuff is way overpriced.
St. Louis Seeks the Best Polish in Chicago
Unfortunately, Tatra Inn closed last year. It was the best...
Nick and Vito's
Nick and Vito's is on tonite's episode of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives...
Deep Dish (not stuffed) near Midway?
I'll second Louisa's, it's closest to the original "deep-dish". But I have to say Palermo's on 95th Cicero is my absolute favorite. I could live on the deep dish cheese. Wish I had the recipe for the terrific sauce...
Joe's American Bar and Grill
Joe's American Bar and Grill
Anyone try or like this place? Sometimes I crave good unfrilly American food, and the menu looks pretty good. Anyone have any comments or even suggestions. I was thinking about the one in North Shore Mall.
Thanks,

Cafe This Way Closed?
Good, I thought for sure it was Cafe this Way...I've never been to Miguel's so I won't miss it. Thanks for the clarification.
Cafe This Way Closed?
Isn't this it? 51 Rodick?http://maine.craigslist.org/reo/961302081.html
Cafe This Way Closed?
The restaurant is listed on Craig's list. At least the pictures look like it. This was one of my favorites in Bar Harbor and was always packed. Anyone know for sure?
Lower Maine, Anniversary Dinner this weekend.....?
What about Bintliff's in Ogunquit? The food is good, and you can get one of those cozy private dining cubbies.
