I enjoyed a bowl of ramen and a cider at The Nest today, a great way to warm up and hydrate while skiing

The ramen is a 24 hour dashi broth with literal heaps of super tasty yakisoba noodles. The soy egg and kimchi in it are delicious, and it's topped with a perfectly crisped chicken wing.

I always order when I see it on a drink menu. It's a real treat they had it all the way up here on my favorite Maine mountain. Just make sure you save room for a few oysters to pair with your Slow Down at The Nest. 😉

Cracked open this pint from for tonight. Nothing like eating my feelings (mostly anxiety right now).

Churn Out the Vote! is a vanilla ice cream with lovely bites of fudge chips and chocolate mousse. It has a bit of added texture from pretzel swirls. It serves its 2 key purposes - to get out the vote for what you believe in and to temporarily tamper my anxiety driven up by Steve Kornacki while waiting for the 2024 election results.

is always a good decision.

It's funny to be in a long line now because I'll have my daughter in my arms and she's just calmly staring at everyone, melting hearts one at a time.

Anyways the food and espresso are great but my real recommendation here is for you to listen to the brand new single by The Phreakers on Spotify. It totally slaps. 🤘🏾

If you follow me, it should come as no surprise that the iced vietnamese coffee offered at the Proper Cup is the best coffee I've had in Portland and even though their menu is amazing, I can't help but order it every time I visit.

But! Have you heard they're also serving up the most delicious avocado toast? What I think really sets this apart from the rest is that the bread is insaaanely perfect and comes fresh from our local bakers at Bread and Friends.

Do yourself a favor and try out my order if you're not afraid to live deliciously.

Went to Miyake the other night. The food was very good - they had a special with fish collar that was buttery and melted in my mouth, and a duck bun which was so savory juicy and meaty all at once, but the bite of the night for me was this one Maine eel nigiri I ordered last which nailed everything I came there looking for. Looking back, I probably should've ordered 10 more of these right up front. So good. It is no wonder to me why our Maine eels are so coveted across the globe. I'll be back for more.

Do yourself a favor and go to get any beer (they're all delicious) and enjoy it with this mortadella sandwich.

Benkay makes some great maki rolls. I tried the Alaska, Spicy Tuna, and also their flagship Benkay rolls. The spicy tuna and Alaska rolls were great. I could eat a thousand of them. The benkay roll is entirely tempura fried, so the tuna can end up a bit cooked which may be something to keep in mind - super nice savory flavors. The seaweed salad was pretty good but could use a bit more of an acidic kick imho. I also tried the chicken katsu-don which was just sort of mush by the time I got to eating it. Nice flavors, but I wish there were more veggies in there and that the chicken katsu was super crispy. I'd suggest they package the chicken separately from the rice so that it doesn't steam during transport. Overall, I'm definitely eating here again and would like to try their udon next!

Costco was out of relish at the food court today so I, being the proper gentleman I am, brought my hot dog all the way home - UNSCATHED - to add dill relish and pour my diet pepsi into a proper cup. Cheerio.

P.S. The cookies are SO GOOD.
