Mike's Profiled in the Sun

Mike Fink, owner of Mike’s the new sandwich shop that soon to open on Congress Street, was the subject of an article in the Saturday Portland Daily Sun.

A few weeks ago I took a quick walk through the restaurant with Mike. I could see how comfortable this spot will be when it opens. The room is bright and has an easy in-and-out sandwich shop feel. The selections will be many. According to Fink, they will offer not only sandwiches, but paninis, salads, burritos, quesadillas, smoothies, floats, as well as a variety of soft drinks and take-out beer.
