New fan here. Good channel! Pro tip(and I hate when people say pro tip) FREE PARKING IN THAT LOT -> When you arrive, go to that floating restaurant Dimillos (you showed it in the background)sit at the bar and get a bowl of what I feel is the Best lobster stew around and then get your parking ticket validated!!! Go on as you wish! Free parking!!!

@@michaelimondithereal well you already know of Reds….i heard you mention it, but they are definitely one of the best. I also stop at Days Crabmeat & Lobster in Yarmouth. If looking for chowders …Cindy’s in Freeport had some of the best chowders when I was there last, but it’s been years and the old man passed away who made the chowder so I’m not sure anymore

Portland is a city in denial of itself. It has no real identity. It's image and folklore imposed on it from the outside. Portland isn't hip or cool. But it has the things that make a hip and cool city. It feels forced on the people who aren't concerned enough to care. Being a restaurant city means nothing. It's just food. No big deal. I like bacon sandwiches. That makes me happy. If overpriced plates of food makes someone else happy good for them. The people aren't cool or creative. They're not sociable or spontaneous. They're smug, boring and as confused as the city.

I know this will be a bit strange to say. If you want the cheapest best lobster roll... York Hospital's Cafeteria, unless the price has changed since I been there, $10 for a lobster roll. A sizeable amount of lobster on a hotdog bun.

Bro. You’re a great food reviewer. But let me give you a tiny little tip: Famous: means you’re well known for some good reason Infamous: means you’re well know for some bad reason Montreal Canadiens hockey players are INFAMOUS for diving and faking for penalty calls. Or you could call them notorious for the same reason Montreal is FAMOUS for having great poutine keep your reviews coming! Thanks

Grew up in Maine ... not a huge fan of lobster rolls. Love Eventide though, sorry you had a bad experience. Been to a lot of tourist traps in Maine and I don't think Eventide is one of them. Personally, think Twelve has the best lobster roll in town. As someone that thinks lobster is overrated, Eventide and Twelve are at least making it different

My Louisiana heart did have to giggle when you gave the multiple monologues about us covering our seafood with seasonings...just for you to order truffle oil on yours😆. I'm sorry, but that's fucking hilarious. I personally prefer crab and gulf shrimp over lobster and clams, and it isn't a particularly close race. I'm visiting New England for the first time later this year, so I hope the local joints can improve my opinion of your so-called heavyweights. Your video has me questioning if that will happen, but I guess we'll see!

If you never had seafood up here Then I completely understand why you’ll take shrimp and crab over mediocre clams and lobster Enjoy the best seafood in the world from Boston And you’re right about the truffle Only tried it cause a friend of mine But still you’re right Don’t get used to it tho

Maryland is absolutely not Cajun. What? Do you know what Cajun is/means? Also crabcakes Maryland decidedly takes, same with softshell crabs, which are both gimmicky and terrible in New England. The Chesapeake and Gulf is where most crabs and shrimp comes from, along with tons of varieties of oysters! I guess those don’t count as seafood to you, then 🤦‍♂️

@MrKevinCarioca 3 ай бұрын

First of all, Luke’s started in Saco, Maine. Second, food is better here, Third, you didn’t go to DiMillo’s?! What’s wrong with you?! You missed the bacon wrapped scallops sautéed in Maple Syrup. They also have a 2 oz pour. Truffle butter is crap. Ok with French Fries at Fire and Oak in Montvale, NJ. You finish off with some Beals ice cream or Gorgeous Gelato. Probably should try some Queequeg Spice Rum at Maine Craft Distillers…you can tour the distillery. Spot on in Event Tide…pretentious “out of state” crap. Still 3 out 3 DiMillo’s
