Review of Aunt Dee's
Aunt Dee’s Cafe and Ice Cream Shoppe received 3½ stars from the Eat & Run review in today’s Press Herald.
The pot roast was tender; the potatoes thick and creamy. The star of the meal, however, was the buttercup squash from the owners’ garden. It was served on the side in a small bowl and was simple and delicious, with a little melted butter swimming on top.

Food Rules & Vegetarian Cuisine
The Sun has published a few food rules assembled by columnist Natalie Ladd and her “Pumpkinhead Council”.
1) When is it too late? If a restaurant serves until 9:30 p.m., the people who walk in the door at nine twenty-seven should get the same quality service, food, and atmosphere as the folks who walked in at seven-thirty. Guess what? Pretty theory, but it simply isn’t happening.
and fellow food columnist Margo Mallar writes about the intersection of vegetarianism and next week’s Fall Restaurant Week.

Immigrant Kitchens: Galchi Jo Rim
Lindsay Sterling from Immigrant Kitchens learned how to make Galchi Jo Rim from Kum You, co-owner of Korea House. See the photos and read the recipe and back story behind this dish.
Mrs. You remembers her fist pot of rice, cooked on a wood fire, when she was about nine years old. The bottom was burned, the middle was watery, and the top not cooked. Grandma laughed and said, “You are a lady. You are supposed to know how to cook!”
“But Grandma,” the girl said, “This is my first time!”
“Step by step,” Grandma said, “you learn from me.”
For a decade, she did.
