Eat Maine has published a review of the Small Axe food truck,

…food trucks have been popping up everywhere, offering finger-friendly bites like pizza cones and cup cakes. But in the midst of all this casual fare, Small Axe is serving up something pretty special. Helmed by two of Portland’s top chefs, this truck is making restaurant worthy food available in the middle of a parking lot. Craving a quick bowl of fish curry? Small Axe can make that happen.

The Blueberry Files has published a review of Wannawaf.

So Wannawaf seems to be more for the “stop in with the kids for the afternoon and buy a round of ice cream; get it served over a waffle if you wanna be silly” set. I am not in that set and I don’t know if that will be enough to sustain them in Portland. Time will tell, I guess.

and Peter Peter Portland Eater has published a review of Novare Res.

There’s hardly a better place in Portland to try new libations than Novare Res. With well over a hundred beers, Novare Res is a beer garden for the casual beer enthusiast all the way to the most serious of beer connoisseurs.

Foodie Journey has published a review of the lobster rolls at Red’s, Bite into Maine and Eventide.

My favorite?  It’s a tie between Bite Into Maine and Eventide.   But I wouldn’t turn down Red’s.  It all comes down to the type of lobster roll and experience[sic]
