The Maine Oyster Festival is such an incredible gathering & there is still time to enjoy it today!
Enjoy this recap from Maggie, who was a judge & announced the Oyster of the Year winner.
Five judges spent the afternoon tasting over two dozen in a blind test.
The winner was @erosoyster & we are so thrilled for their win!
Thank you to @themaineoysterfestival @visitfreeport for partnering with edible MAINE as media sponsor.
We ran into so many familiar faces 💙

Woo hoo! Grab a copy in Bangor!
Working our way up the coast!
Fresh copies are at the Maibe Tourism locations! Grab them while they're HIT!
There’s nothing like a gathering around The Good Table with family & friends.
The newly revamped staple perfectly blends coastal chic with locally-inspired comfort food.
We overheard one guest exclaim, “It’s like being at your favorite aunt’s beach house, who is also an incredible chef.”
It’s worth a trip across the bridge to this warm & gracious restaurant—and brunch is newly added, too!

Congrats to @lukesportland on 5 amazing years setting the tone for sustainable seafood 💙
The beloved @mr.tuna_maine opened the doors on their fabulous bar-centric b&m space in Portland, putting the cherry on top of Middle Street’s restaurant row.
Chef @jordan__rubin consistently gives the people what they want, and we are here for it.
Congrats, team!
Huge congrats to our friends at @woodford_fb on their James Beard Award for Hospitality—we’ve loved you since opening! So well deserved.
Best of luck in Chicago!

Smitten with the vibes & food at @cantinacalafia in Portland’s West End.
The menu is an impressive blend of local ingredients with Baja California flair along with a fresh space, lovely service & creative cocktails.
Fabulous choice for a date night, meet up with friends or even a solo experience at the bar. 🧡

Congratulations to @unionportland on the launch of their spring menu in a newly “glowed-up” space.
Chef Christian (@chefchristianb__ontherun) embraces the All Together motto and doubles down on UNION’S commitment to supporting local farmers and seafood…along with some of his native Texas flair!
We especially loved the scallops and the beets—and the gracious service.
Thank you @carla_tracy for bringing together local foodies for a preview of Chef’s new vision!
We are so excited to watch our own contributor Chef Tara compete on the Food Network’s Summer Baking Championship!

Happy Earth Day! 🍒
We are so grateful to Mother Nature for giving us so much incredible food.
Besides picking up more sticks, how are you celebrating Earth Day?
Loved getting a BTS tour at @threeofstrongspirits plus lots of sips from their remarkable lineup of rum, gin & new canned cocktails.
Local always tastes best!

It should be called The GREAT Table…
But make sure you add the reopening of Cape Elizabeth’s @thegoodtablerestaurant to your upcoming dining experience.
We were so grateful to be included in the first tasting night, which included a family style meal highlighting many of the elevated comfort foods that will be on the menu.
The three hour meal was full of conversation, cocktails & a beautiful community we can’t wait to visit again.
They officially open 3/28 for dinner, with brunch and lunch to be added later in the spring.
The edible MAINE groundhog said there are six more weeks of bread season.
So…
Thank you, @hostilevalleyliving for sharing your homemade love with our team!

Such a fun day judging Maine Restaurant Week’s Spirit Quest along with Katie Sampson & Angie Bryan.
After 12 stops to consider a sip/bite pairing, we chose Papi as the winner for their Braised Pork Street Taco with a Atrévete-te-te Mojito (made with red bell peppers!).
There were so many creative pairings & it was a joy to have been a part of the 2024 challenge!
We ❤️ Portland’s spirit(s)! Keep supporting your local stops during @mainerestaurantweek.
Congrats to all of the following✨
