Hot Diggity.

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

What started as way for Keith Wasse to pay for college in 1972, has turned into a classic Maine tradition.

His midcoast hot dog stands offer a simple menu and simple prices.

He gave up on college, but has earned a Phd in Classic Hot Dog. (Which just might be much more valuable than many other high priced degrees!)

So get in line for one of life’s best simple pleasures, hot off the griddle in Rockland, Maine (or in Belfast in Reny’s parking lot.)

Micucci Deli, Portland, Maine

This classic Italian Deli was started by Leo & Iris Micucci in 1950 on Middle Street in Portland.

The business catered mostly to what was at the time, Portland’s “Little Italy.”

Mr. Micucci was one of the first to supply Maine’s pizza shops, which included Angelone’s in Portland, Luiggi’s in Lewiston and Pat’s Pizza in Orono.

The ‘Sicilian Slab’ that can be found in the back of the shop gets rave reviews, even on Yelp.

There is a certain look that is associated with Maine, especially, summer in Maine. It’s what Sister Parish knew all about. It’s what incoming wannabes would like to come by naturally, but might not quite have the knack.

Classic doesn’t mean without personality. Its style is in the subtleties, the nuances of little jokes, appreciation for both humble and elegant, always with an unpretentious overtone, and filled with joy for life.

The Kimball Shop, in beautiful Northeast Harbor, might be a good place to get some hints about acquiring the right supplies.

Here is just a tiny glimpse into this jam packed treasure trove.

Just down the street is the Kimball Boutique, where ladies shop when they’re in town, and personally order items from the owner year round from wherever they are.

Shopping at Kimball’s is part of classic, stylish and yet unpretentious, Maine. Sorry these pics aren’t great. You’ll just have to go to get the full effect.
