I have some catching up to do!
Damariscotta wrap-up
Village Grill. After driving past it 137 times I finally went in and was glad I did! It’s a stationary food truck with porches for ordering and pickup and a wood-burning pizza oven out back. Loads of well-spaced picnic tables, almost all with umbrellas. Big menu.
I had been craving a good fried chicken sandwich for over a year without encountering one so when their daily special was a fried chicken bacon ranch sandwich it seemed destined. Obviously made to order with very fresh chicken - delicious! But the deep fried mushrooms were even better and definitely what I think about returning for.
Bagels from Oysterhead Pizza. You have to pre-order by Wednesday lunch and pick up on Friday, details on FB. Excellent bagels and fun cream cheese offerings which vary weekly.
Barn Door Baking Café’s excellent English muffins.
Borealis Bread (store-front on Route 1 at light with Moody’s Diner, available at Hannafords - delivery seems to be on Friday). Amazing sandwich/toast bread, made partly or wholly with Maine-grown grains.
