Interview with Masa Miyake
Find Eat Drink has published an interview with Masa Miyake who is the chef/owner of Miyake and Pai Men Miyake,
Q. Is there a particular fish you love to work with and why?
A. Right now, it would be Sayori, also known as ‘needle fish.’ Not only is the flavor outstanding, but it is also very difficult to cut this fish properly – making it rewarding for everyone involved.
Review of the Amato's Original Italian
From Away has published a review of the Amato’s Italian sandwich,
It’s a little lowbrow. It certainly barely qualifies as “Italian” food. It also happens to be stunningly, mysteriously delicious; several factors greater than the sum of its parts, in spite of individual components that you would turn your nose up at. For the second day in a row, I bought a “large,” intending to eat half for lunch today, and half tomorrow. Instead, I didn’t even make it to the table, inhaling the whole sandwich while standing over the sink.

Dead Hop
According to a press release from Portland’s Downtown District, the Lunch Hop service on the Metro bus line will be discontinued starting November 1.

MRW Photos from David's 388
In celebration of the Fall Maine Restaurant Week, PortlandTown has published a set of photos taken Wednesday night at David’s 388.
MRW organizers Jim and Gillian Britt were interviewed for an article about the week long event in today’s Portland Daily Sun.
Next time, says event organizer Jim Britt, it may be that the fall version of RW is moved later into the year, after Election Day and a bit away from what has turned out to be a fairly busy week.
“We’re competing with a lot of other things,” said Britt in an interview Wednesday.

Review of Havana South
Food for Thought has posted a review of Havana South. Author John Golden writes of the restaurant that “they haven’t hit their stride yet–promises unfulfilled” but wraps up with “[s]till I’m glad the restaurant is here, and I’ll go often enough if they let me in after these comments. I’m a huge fan of Latin American cooking and cherish it when it’s done well.”
Cool Maine Mead
Maine Mead Works was recently profiled on the site Cool Hunting.
The HoneyMaker Mead uses 100% Maine wildflower honey and other locally produced ingredients, and then barrel aged with American oak. While many consider it a thick or syrupy drink, Maine Mead Works’ variety has a remarkably delicate and refined consistency.
