Food & Wine has released the winners of their Global Tastemakers Awards. Maine is recognized in three of the award categories:
Portland is on the list of the 10 Top US Cities for Food and Drinks.
Aragosta on Deer Isle is on the list of the Top 20 Restaurants in the US.
Portland is on the list of the 10 Top US Cities for Bakeries.
How the award winners are selected:
This year, we asked more than 180 food and travel journalists from across the globe to nominate their favorite restaurants, bars, bakeries, markets, cities, hotels, airports, airlines, and cruises around the world. We then entrusted that feedback to an expert panel of judges to rank each category’s winners. In many categories, we’ve included a Plus One, hand-selected by our expert panel, to shout out more culinary destinations we don’t want our readers to miss.
