A very enjoyable breakfast at this very upscale restaurant in downtown Portland. I had the breakfast croissant sandwich with roasted rosemary potatoes. The sandwich was filled with eggs, cream cheese, tomatoes and bacon. The roasted rosemary potatoes were cooked as hash browns and topped with diced tomatoes. Over all I must say that this meal [...]

Nani and I were excited about trying this new place. Cute concept! The decorating is adorable and it feels very much like a “ladies who lunch” place. The lunch special of a savory crepe, a side, and a drink was filling. We shared two dessert crepes as well!

Beer and desert with friends who graduated from CSU.

Beer Float made with Terrapin Moo-Hoo chocolate stout and vanilla ice cream.

I don’t get by Mrs. Story’s much anymore, but it is always refreshing when I do. Having been eating there for the last 45 years, I always expect it to be changed or out of business, but it’s always still around with the same great tasting footlong chili dogs, delicious milkshakes, or scrumptious sundaes. If [...]

Thanks for the free cake and coffee! Great lunch special and delicious coffee!! Sandy and I had the roast beef and provolone with side salads. Yes I DID eat the salad made from spinach thank you very much!! And Mark had the turkey bacon ranch sandwich with sausage and chicken gumbo. It was all VERY [...]

Italian Lemoncello.  Sweet lemon liqueur.

Yummmmy

Had an amazing dinner with some wonderful people to celebrate my birthday before Thanksgiving! The crab cakes were divine…of course, but the mango mousse captured my heart!

Okay first of all…you have to drive through a deserted hotel to find this place. Then you have to get buzzed in…unless you have been issued an access card. Then OMG the food is amazing and the portions are HUGE!!! Definitely a wonderful dining experience!

Enjoying a day in the life of a Fort Benning soldier.

When you want a meat and three vegetables in Columbus, GA you need to cross the river into Phenix City for the best home cooking in the Chattahoochee Valley. Ed’s Country Cooking and Bar-B-que won’t disappoint. Crissy chose the smothered pork chop with collards, squash, dressing and pecan pie. I chose the baked chicken, dressing, [...]

Black and Blue Salad – Where else can you get filet mignon for lunch for under eleven bucks?? Spinach Salad – Gorgonzola crumbles and warm bacon vinaigrette! Yes, please!! Espresso Chocolate Cake with Buttercream Icing AND… Real Heavy Cream in the coffee!!!    

Meatloaf, yams, green beans, roll, and strawberry cheesecake brownie for desert.

This tiny place is full of big taste. The menu is simple, and the choices unique.  I had the chipotle wedge salad with blackened grilled chicken, and then a Mississippi Mud Pie for dessert. That dessert was like the most moist chocolate cake I’ve eaten in a long time. If you’re downtown in Portland, give [...]

Enjoyed a dinner out with the wife.  Love Houlihans!

I am back at the East Ender, here in downtown Portland, Maine. This trip I brought my co-worker Ray along to enjoy the food. I love how this place makes some of their own ingredients, and sends me little mid-course treats to test out. The staff is great, and very personable, which goes a long [...]
