What to Eat in Maine (is it more than syrup & lobster?)

[@50freeport]

Hey Mark, my memory of the last post I saw of you, I think you were in Berlin or Munich or some German city, and you were chatting about wursts...in the middle of a snow storm. As always, you shared insights and recommendations that are so very thoughtful, comprehensive, and valuable. All of your videos that I've ever seen covered various venues in Europe. Never North America, or the U.S. or let alone my home State of Maine. And never with Jocelyn. You absolutely, pleasantly blindsided me today! You are such a travel guru...a magnificent expert and educator that I convinced myself that no one would ever overshadow you as a travel advisor. Until tonight. I met Jocelyn! She is incredible. She is every bit as smart, every bit as knowledgeable as you, every bit as articulate, every bit as entertaining, and frankly much prettier! The two of you are so compatible that when one of you says something the other picks it up instantly and extends it to the next level. It's amazing. You two are an awesome couple! Thanks for all of your good work. Chris

Gosh, that's one of the nicest comments I've gotten on YT. Thank you for your kind words. 🌟

I love you guys together! You're usually not on camera at the same time. Great video!

We got married in Connecticut and Honeymooned in the entirety of New England and Holy Donut in Maine was a must stop for us…they are sooooo good. We arrived 10-15 minutes within opening and there was already a long line (it moved fast) and one of their flavors was sold out. It’s the best donut we have ever had but they are so filling. We got about a dozen so that we could taste all the flavors and ended up having to eat on them throughout our week long visit lol. TFS. This was a great round up.

The best...all of them

I know your opening location well at Cape Elizabeth, spent many years vacationing there. I love lobster with lemon slices squeezed on it more than butter as I find it is flavorful enough as is. Old Orchard beach pier I noticed too. You did feature some items I never did try but will in the future. WIcked good stuff!

My dad lived almost twenty years in Rhode Island and introduced us to NEW ENGLAND BOILED DINNER-- steamed lobster, steamed clams, steamed corn on the cob, steamed chorizo, steamed potatoes and whatever else you want to add. An amazing meal.

Hi Mark and Jocelyn! I love eating in Maine too. We'd love to have you visit the Jersey Shore too:)

[@lahermosajarifa7007]

Makes me want to book a flight right now! Great info and entertaining as usual 😊

Only visited Maine once back in 2008. Visited Bar Harbor whoch was fun and had some great løbetur there. Then we drive to Millinocket but only to find all restaurants closed. Only place to get any food was a Subway. 😂

My personal fave place for lobster rolls is Nunans lobster hut. We went to the one in Kennebunkport mostly as we stayed with a friend there every labor day weekend. It brings me back a memory of my childhood as it was the 1st time i ever tried lobster. I remember my dad refusing to take me and my sister to the water park unless we tried it. I would go hiding under the table as a todler as i just didn't want to eat lobster. I saw them earlier moving in the aquarium and it was grossing me out. The second i actually tried it though it was my favorite thing ever. 😂

I grew up in New England, so I have eaten many Whoopie Pies. Down here in Maryland, I find them in Amish markets.

Seeing a lot of Wiscasset footage. Did you try Duckfat in Portland?

[@woltersworld]

yes!!!!

Thanks for talking about gluten-free options as my wife is now on a Gluten-free diet, and it can be hard sometimes to find Gluten-free options.

[@John572d4]

Does she actually have celiac disease or what is the other reason people go gluten free. I remember when all this started, in Readers Digest over thirty years ago there was a case of an ailment someone got that was super tough for doctors to diagnose, the person kept getting sick, and finally they found out that it was allergic to grains/flours and that it was “super rare”. (Celiac). But then fast forward 15 years or so and the hype explodes of “gluten free” everything without real justification and it becomes really a marketing ploy, or ploye if one might consume buckwheat pancakes, and a lot of people took to it as if gluten should be avoided no matter what. The travesty!

[@johndornoff]

@John572d4 Yes she does have Celiac disease, she was diagnosed with it last year.

[@jayhulrs1435]

Do they have lobster pie in Maine? Had in Boston and fell in love with

[@John572d4]

It’s rare

[@scottknox5701]

Nice video, but you missed so much of Maine. Maine is actually the largest State East of the Mississippi River. There is so much more than just Downeast.

[@John572d4]

Wow bigger than NC or Georgia?

[@thomasschiller404]

Don't forget to have sharp cheddar cheese with blueberry pie.

[@John572d4]

State dessert of Maine is a tossup between that or the Whoopee Pie

[@John572d4]

The cheese adds just a bit more saturated fat so the consumer will have to account for that.

[@John572d4]

Must be potato FLOUR donuts…

[@joecandora9748]

Ham and American cheese, I don’t think so. Not on an Italian sub 😡🤬
