Some of the most sincere forms of flattery we can receive are: . 1. When we hear our guests have been referred by a friend or family member! . 2. When they’re like Amy, who has now been on two tours in as many months WITH friends and family, and is joining another one Memorial Weekend! . Lady - SO many thanks for introducing us to your circle of folks! . ...and a big welcome to Portland! . . . . . #friendsandfamily #mainefoodietours #thankyou #lovelocal #onegoodtourdeservesanother #foodtour

Vervacious is the most hands on stop for guests where they get to experiment with different flavor combinations and get out of their spicing comfort zone! . Their “base” dish is a simple homemade Mac and cheese with @cabotcheese accented with lobster from @harborfish. . Some samplings of the seasonings we’ve introduced are: 🍴Smoke Paprika 🍴Curry 🍴Dried shallots 🍴Honey Powder 🍴Nora Chili Flakes . There’s so many ways to take a simple and familiar dish and give it a little more flavorful oomph! . . . . #seasonings #spiceshop #spices #ingredients #culinary #macandcheese #lobstermacncheese #lobster #trynewthings #foodie #foodtour #walkingtour #guidedtour #207 #foodforthought #mainefoodietours

We love checking out the Saturday @portlandmefarmersmarket at @deeringoakspark - it offers much more than just fresh veggies and produce. 🍎🥕🥒🥖🍞 There are artisan food creators, cheese makers, you can buy cuts of meat, succulents and other plants there’s a variety of performers from musicians to balloon art for the kiddos...and more. VERY family friendly! . #familyfriendly #farmersmarkets #eatlocal #mainefoodietours

Stopped for a look at Portland’s working waterfront so the Tell Family could see where some of the seafood selections on their tour today are locally sourced from. .

Avery’s introducing his guests to a hands-on exploration of seasoning. A little spice can go a long way into changing and enhancing the flavor profile of a dish quickly and easily! Getting out of the culinary comfort zone. . We’ve got pasta, some creamy cheesy sauce made with @cabotcheese and a bit of @harborfish lobster as an easy to make base for our seasoning experiments. . The recent guest favorites have been the dried shallots, jalapeño powder and...honey powder...sometimes even all mixed together! Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. . Everyone’s palate is different and it’s fun to get everyone mixing and matching. . How would you spice up a lobster macaroni and cheese? . . . . . . . #foodietourlife #culinarytour #flavors #tastingtour #artisanfood #cookingtips #culinaryarts #mainefoodietours

We really love learning the origin stories and inspiration behind the plates and pours of our artisan food friends! . Taylor is a native Maine gal who honed her culinary skills while studying tourism and hospitality management abroad in Australia. . After she graduated from @endicottcollege she came back home to Maine and dabbled in food truck ownership serving homemade hand pies with flavors ranging from buffalo chicken and cheddar bacon ranch to the always popular filling, lobster! . She transitioned from there to become a part of the @baristasandbites family where her culinary passion and flare for flavor earned her the position as the head baker. . Her hand pie recipes are being brought back into circulation at B+B and today we tried her curried chicken and Greek style. So. Damn. Good. . Make sure you pop in soon and try them too! Thanks Taylor for taking time to dish about food with us and always being an amazing hostess to our guests! . . . . . . . . #foodfriendsfun #bakery #handpies #currychicken #savoryhandpies #savory #alwayslearning #edutastional #educational #foodtour #foodtourism #foodtourlife #foodietour #letseat #visitportland #mainefoodietours
With every bite we share the stories of tastemakers and how they got their start! . Today our guests noshed on a @baristasandbites trademarked sconewich. . The bacon, cheddar and chive scone is created in house. It’s served as a breakfast sandwich with a local farm fresh egg, arugula, roasted tomato and a sriracha sour cream for a little kick. . A quick version of their origin story is that they began as the Love Cupcakes food cart. Next it transitioned to a food truck. The 1st brick and mortar was a petite counter space on the 2nd floor of the Public Market - a wonderful hub of culinary artisan talent. Their last move brought them to Fore Street, next door to Dean’s Sweets, where Barista + Bites, which is the savory side of the business, was added. All this in FIVE YEARS! . Join us for a Culinary Walking Tour to learn more as you TASTE your way through town! . . . . . . . #baristaandbites #sconewich #breakfastsandwich #educational #deliciousfood #foodtour #foodietour #foodtourlife #eatlocal #visitportland #eatandlearn #eatanddrink #tour #smallmainebusiness #foodentrepreneur #culinarytour #culinaryentrepreneur #mainefoodietours
