The 18 Essential Maine Restaurants, January 2013
Presenting Maine's updated Eater 18, your answer to any question that begins, "Can you recommend a restaurant …" This highly elite group covers the entire state, spans myriad cuisines, and collectively satisfies all of your restaurant needs. Every few months, we'll be adding pertinent restaurants that were omitted, have newly become eligible (restaurants must be open at least six months), or have stepped up their game.
New to this update: Local 188, Chase's Daily, The Lost Kitchen, Long Grain, The White Barn Inn. Note that some restaurants included previously are not here for this go-round because they are closed for the winter, namely Arrows and Primo.
For those of you readying the pitchforks because your favorite restaurant isn't on the list, wouldn't it just be more productive to leave your thoughts in the comments? State your cases for (or against) restaurants in the comments or through the tipline.
