Wild flavors from Wild Island

They’re the offerings of Wild Island, a Boothbay Harbor-based ice cream company that sets up Thursdays at the Boothbay Farmers’ Market. Even more flavors exist in the head of Summer Ball-Galvis, co-founder along with husband Dave. “Hundreds,” said Dave, who described himself as the “business guy” behind the brand. “She has a world-class palate.” It’s a flavor...

Tuesday, July 31, 2018 - 9:15am
NEWCASTLE— If you’ve ever sampled raw oysters at Ondine in Belfast, Hoxbill in Camden, and Suzuki Sushi, North Beacon Oysters and Café Miranda in Rockland, chances are they came from eight oysters farms on the Damariscotta River. One young entrepreneur, Brendan Parsons, is the distributor behind it. Parsons, who was born and raised in Damariscotta, has made a small empire around them. He started his career working at an oyster farm in 2008. From there, he ran a raw bar for a catering company...
‘Bark & Bite’ ranked ‘most imaginative’ hot dog in Maine
Saturday, July 28, 2018 - 8:30am
Wannawaf is featured in the July edition of Down East magazine for having the “most imaginative hot dog” in Maine. Owner Anya Heyl said in the height of Wannawaf’s 16th season, the surprise was a pleasant one. The hot dog in question is one of several off the menu – the Bark & Bite, a dog on a bun topped with cream cheese, hot pepper jelly and caramelized onions. It sounds simple and creative enough, but there’s more to it that puts the hot dog in the spotlight. The dog on a bun is an all-...
Get curious about Pinkham’s Gourmet Market
Wednesday, July 25, 2018 - 11:15am
Construction on the building opposite Hammond Lumber began last September. First came the pouring of the foundation, then the piecing together of the building and over the next two months, the building was closed off from the elements of winter. Amid the work in the beginning, we got a name to attach to the project: Pinkham’s Seafood. Pinkham's Seafood started on River Road around 1985. When his mother died in 2008, owner Russ Pinkham took over the business, which was largely wholesaling clams...

Thursday, June 28, 2018 - 1:30pm
The Windjammer Days lobster-eating contest on Wednesday, June 27 drew 13 contestants to compete for the $100 prize – and braggin’ rights! The event featured entertaining commentary by emcee Doug Gimbel. The contest judges and co-organizers Cap’n Rusty Court and Chris Gleason also had a hand in keeping things lively for the audience.

Where It’s At ... OYSTERS!
Wednesday, June 6, 2018 - 11:00am
For the life of me I cannot remember when my love affair with oysters began. But begin, it did. I’ve always been a bit of a purist when it comes to shellfish; without spices, butter, wine (for cooking that is!) … Anyway, oysters satisfy my soul as no other shellfish can because it tastes like the sea. Crisp, cold, salt, softly textured … someone catch me – I’m about to swoon! In “The Connoisseur’s Guide to Oyster Eating in North America,” Rowan Jacobsen stated it best: “Oysters taste like the...

Squire Tarbox Inn gets new owners, new lease on life
Tuesday, June 5, 2018 - 7:00am
The Squire Tarbox Inn is being transformed by two women from Houston. Lisa Dalton and Michelle Adams have been working at a feverish pitch since January to get the 1700s building and the 12 acres surrounding it ready for wedding parties, farm-to-table dinners, and other events this summer. Most of the work being done is cosmetic, but those cosmetic upgrades are bringing some dramatic changes to the old Colonial inn on Westport Island. The women have been friends for a long time.

A few weeks of pigging out
Wednesday, March 7, 2018 - 11:00am
I’ve been pigging out. It’s been a few weeks of, well, not quite hell, but not exactly Disneyland either, for me. This is a food column, so I’m not going to dwell on the gory details, but I’ve been dealing with a large wound left behind after having a skin cancer removed from my shin. I haven’t been able to get much exercise, as I’m being ordered to sit with my leg up as much as possible. A few days ago it was almost 50, and sunny, and I couldn’t stand it for another minute, so I walked 5,000...

Fondue fiasco
Wednesday, February 28, 2018 - 8:15am
There’s cheese fondue. Then there’s Kim Martin’s cheese fondue. On Jan. 6, Michael Maxim posted a comment on my Facebook page: “Hey Suzi Thayer, I need some fondue tips...where’s my article on that? Please and thank you.” I told him I’d get right on it, and he replied that he looked forward to a “Fondue Fiasco” story. Then he came up with the brilliant idea of enlisting Kim Martin of Eventide Specialties in Boothbay Harbor to make the fondue. On Feb. 20, the Fondue Fiasco happened. Besides...

Seven bubblies and a cupcake

I love bubblies of all colors and prices. It’s been a while since I’ve drunk Andres, but give me an eight-dollar bottle of Barefoot Bubbly and I’m good to go. Not all sparklers are Champagnes. The grapes used in Champagne are actually grown in the Champagne region of France. Other bubblies are sparkling wines. I don’t care. I love them all. They make me happy. There are theories that the bubbles in sparkling wines actually make for a quicker “high,” due to the carbon dioxide in them speeding...

There are some serious spinach pies being made in a little hole-in-the-wall down a back alley in Damariscotta. It almost sounds illegal, and the fist-sized pies are so ridiculously delicious, they should be. Bernie DeLisle is making them at his new restaurant, Osteria Bucci. The recipe came from his grandmother, Antoinetta Bucci, who grew up in a little town in Italy. Before he opened the restaurant he thought about selling just the pies, and calling his joint Nana Bucci’s Spinach Pie Factory...

Bernie’s joint: Osteria Bucci
Wednesday, January 10, 2018 - 10:00am
Unless you’ve been to Italy, you may very well have never experienced anything quite like the Damariscotta restaurant Osteria Bucci. The little gem is tucked away off a small alleyway, and the sign hanging beside the door is as small and unpretentious as the interior is. In fact, unless you happen to get a whiff of whatever is cooking inside on any given day, you’re apt to just walk. Don’t. Just follow your nose into the small, offbeat, cozy restaurant. As soon as you do, you’ll know you’re in...

Sushi is one of the most sought after items on restaurant menus these days. The word brings to mind raw fish, but sushi, though it can, and sometimes does, contain raw fish, is always made with rice, cooked with rice vinegar, salt and sugar, and a combination of yummy stuff like avocado and other veggies, shrimp or other fish, rolled up into a cylinder with a thin sheet of nori (seaweed) then cut into pretty, artful thick discs. Sashimi, on the other hand, refers to thinly sliced raw meat of...
