by Malcolm Bedell May 23, 2013

There’s not much that I love in the world more than a good burger. But let’s do the math, here. A three day weekend in honor of Memorial Day, times three meals a day, equals…well, I don’t know what it equals. But if you mack burgers on Memorial Day weekend the way we mack burgers [...]

Today’s Sandwich: Big Barbecue Burgers (Homemade)

by Malcolm Bedell February 15, 2013

Today’s sandwich is the “Big Barbecue Burger.” It combines a 1/3 pound hamburger patty, cheddar cheese, barbecue sauce, French fried onions, and avocado on a griddled roll. Notes: I’m not normally one for barbecue sauce, in either its real or imitation forms. Oh, sure; I’ll dump quarts of ketchup on my macaroni and cheese, or [...]

Hoss and Mary’s Tasty Grub

by Malcolm Bedell March 26, 2012

When I imagine Old Orchard Beach, the seven-mile stretch of sandy beach about eleven miles South of Portland, my mind doesn’t immediately conjure up images of exceptional dining opportunities. In the Summer, an influx of tourists from all over Maine blankets Old Orchard in acres of pale white skin, Marlboro Light smoke, airbrushed t-shirts, and [...]

Sea Dog Brewing Company

by Malcolm Bedell February 2, 2012

First and foremost, the Topsham outpost of the Sea Dog Brewing Company may be one of the most beautiful pubs of its kind that I have ever set foot in. It’s certainly one of the most scenic chain restaurants. Located in the historic Pejepscot Mill building with a seasonal deck overhanging the rushing Androscoggin River, the [...]

Manchego Lamb Burgers w/ Fried Potato Chive Cakes

by Malcolm Bedell August 9, 2011

As you may have noticed, I’ve been having a real love affair with my grill. It’s an old three-burner Brinkmann I inherited that, at its newest and best, was still a $200 grill styled to look like a $600 grill. It leaks gas. The electric ignition is shot, requiring the operator of the grill to [...]

Beer & Bison Burgers with Garlic Pub Cheese and Bacon & Egg Potato Salad

by Malcolm Bedell May 30, 2011

Ground bison can be shaped into burgers and grilled just like ground beef, but the result is a substantially looser, leaner burger, much lower in fat than its ground-beef cousin. On a hot grill, bison burgers have a tendency to fall apart; we use rolled oats to bind the patties with the beer just a [...]

Evolution of a Lamburger

by Jillian Bedell February 28, 2011

Hot lunch used to be gross. At least, I thought so. My mom packed my lunch in a proper eighties plastic lunch box, complete with matching thermos filled with milk. Hot lunch meant grubby paper punch cards and pizza that the lunch ladies cut with a pair of scissors. I saw it with my own [...]

Turkey Burger with Fried Pickles and Coleslaw

by Jillian Bedell February 4, 2011

If I know one thing about the ladies, it’s that they are crazy for turkey burgers. I’m sorry. That’s a gross generalization. And an outright lie. I, for one, have never had a turkey burger. (And you know I am once, twice, three times a lady.) But all that is about to change. I mean [...]

Nosh Kitchen Bar

by Malcolm Bedell November 8, 2010

Your level of excitement about Nosh Kitchen Bar is going to be directly proportional to how over the whole “Cult of Bacon” you are feeling at the moment. If you ever actually say, out loud, the words, “everything is better with bacon,” during casual conversations with friends, own a t-shirt that says, “I <3 Bacon,” [...]
