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.”

Micucci

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.

Duckfat’s good for you.

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

Duckfat, Portland, Maine.

Good for your soul, good for your appetite, especially if you’ve eaten at Duckfat in Portland.

And perhaps even good for your health. According to D’Artagnan, duck fat’s low in saturated fat and has a good mix of poly and monosaturated fats. So it’s more like olive oil than butter.

Duckfat, Portland, Maine.

Duckfat, the restaurant, is the baby of Rob Evans, the James Beard award winning chef of the famous Hugo’s, just down the street.

Duckfat, Portland, Maine.

Evans moved to Portland in 2000 after working at The French Laundry in Napa for the talented Thomas Keller, and at the Inn at Little Washington.

Duckfat, Portland, Maine.

Duckfat has a simple menu and features what could be the very best Belgian fries this side of the pond.

Here’s one dressed up in the truffle ketchup.

Across the street from Duckfat, Portland, Maine.

If you sit at the two tiny tables outside, you’ll have a view of the Jordan Meats factory, which is being torn down for a new condo developoment. (This was taken before the recent fire.)
