On the heels of the comparative cupcake tasting engineered a couple weeks ago by Edible Obsessions, The Blueberry Files and Appetite Portland comes word of an additional cupcakery, Buttercup Cupcakes, and a blog wholly devoted to tracking down the best cupcake in Portland called Cupcakes!

New Food Blog: From Away
A new Portland food blog entitled From Away which launched in July has been added to the PFM directory. It publishes reviews, brief tasting notes and general commentary. Recent posts have included a Bonobo vs Otto comparison and a review of Aurora Provisions.
New Food Blog: Vin et Grub
Vin et Grub, a new food blog, has been added to the directory on Portland Food Map. The blog’s most recent entry is a review of Boda,
i honestly don’t have anything to complain about from boda. the atmosphere was great- the food, delicious as ever, and the service was prompt. the prices are also very reasonable. obviously, it’s sort of unfair. boda- the thai restaurant that serves up creative and real thai cuisine has a huge advantage over thai places like veranda, saebeing, and pom’s. i’ll be taking many more trips to boda- seeing as they’re open late-night.
The blogger is also trying to establish a roving dinner club, to be called Port City Eaters.
Wine Wise Educational Events
Wine Wise, a new “wine education and events service that takes you beyond the typical wine tasting or wine dinner”, has been added to the Food Map.
Wine Wise is holding their first event “Chardonnays & Lobster, Point Noirs & Pork” the night of First Friday Art Walk on June 4. Visit the Wine Wise website for more information or to register for an upcoming event.

Appetite Portland
Appetite Portland, a new food blog, has been added to the PFM directory. The author’s was inspired by the recent national press coverage of Portland to start up the site and to “document the delights of this city’s restaurants and food stores”.
Maine Beer Co.
Maine Beer Company has been added to the Food Map. The brewery evolved out of the owner’s own home brew experiments and is still a very small operation. I recently enjoyed a bottle of their Spring Peeper Ale, the bottle was from batch #2 and batch #3 is now showing up on store shelves. They’re located out on Portland’s Brewery Row on Industrial near Allagash, Casco and Geary’s. Tours are by appointment only.
DineInPortland.com
A new local food site, DineInPortland.com, has been added to the blog list on the food map. DineInPortland.com plans on limiting its commentary to the “best of the best”. The narrower scope is balanced by continuing “to visit them to see how well they do in the long run.”
