Federal Jack’s Restaurant & Brew Pub – Kennebunkport, ME


Unfortunately The Clam Shack won’t reopen until next week, so this was the replacement. Their menu. Their seasonal special menu. Sweet Potato Bisque made with organic sweet potato soup served with local maple chipotle croutons. Very good, but too bad not a lot of it! I tried their version of the Fresh Maine Lobster Roll.

1912 Cafe – Freeport, ME


While Josh and I were at LL Bean’s flagship store, he felt hungry. And conveniently locate in the store is this place. I got their special: a cup of the Beef Stroganoff soup. Not bad. Also enjoyed their roast beef wheat wrap!

Shays Grill Pub – Portland, ME


Another random spot in downtown Portland, ME. Their menu. I got the Shays Cuban Panini with sweet potato fries. It’s alright…

Sea Dog Brewery Co – South Portland, ME (again)


Never had a dessert entrée before, but this totally works! It’s pan-seared Casco Bay Scallops with Maine blueberry sauced and served with goat-cheese risotto. So much perfectly cooked scallops, rich, creamy, and sweet. It’s a unlikely combination, but a a unreal experience!

Buffalo Wild Wings Grill & Bar – South Portland, ME


Second time coming here. And enjoyed it. I got the “Ribs and Wings”. The ribs flavored with the “famous” “Honey BBQ” sauce, while the wings were “mild”. They both were good, but love the fries!

Home – Columbus, Georgia (At the house)

When at the house, I’m always snacking on Frosted Mini-Wheats with a touch of fruit in the middle. Mixed Berry flavor.

Parental Units’ – Columbus, GA

20110424-064830.jpg

Easter dinner at my parents’ house consisted of ham with Jezebel sauce, deviled eggs, carrots, cole slaw, pineapple salad, green beans, and a roll. And for dessert, we had Ms. Sellers’s famous pear pie. Good eating! The decorative center piece is always holiday specific at the parental units’. And the chocolate Easter bunny collection has [...]

There’s not a better bargain in town than the Dolla Scoop deal at China Express across from the Wal-Mart on Gateway Drive. Gen Tso’s chicken, chicken and broccoli, fried rice, and honey chicken. Chicken and broccoli, honey chicken, lemon pepper chicken, and butter shrimp.
