We don’t need Saveur, Gourmet, and Food & Wine magazines to tell us (though we appreciate the mentions) that our state is renowned for its culinary excellence. From fresh produce to plates of haute cuisine, it’s all here, and The Maine Mouth will help you find it. A combination of Maine food information and inspiration, The Maine Mouth is the place where you can get the word of mouth advice that will lead you to the good eats—and all that is related to it—from York to Fort Kent. I’ll be traveling across the state to farm stands, top restaurants, burger joints, bakeries, clam shacks, ice cream stands, wineries, and more, and reporting about the places worth seeking out. Plus I’ll include some recipes and stories from my own Maine experiences. I hope you'll help by sending in your own suggestions and comments so the Maine Mouth spouts off (pun intended) a true food dialogue that spans the entire state.
