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 [...]

JJ’s Snack Shack

by Malcolm Bedell July 4, 2012

Tater Tot Poutine. That’s right, I said it. This menu item, served at JJ’s Snack Shack in Rockport, is as appropriate a lead-in for a review of the restaurant as any. Why? It’s a good barometer; your overall opinion of JJ’s is probably going to run in parallel to your gut reaction to that phrase. In [...]

Today’s Sandwich: Cheeseburger (‘Keag Store)

Today’s sandwich is the cheeseburger from the ‘Keag Store in South Thomaston. Ours was topped with griddled onions, iceberg lettuce, ketchup, and mustard. Location: 4 Elm Street, South Thomaston Price:$2.75 Notes: It dawns on me that I haven’t visited the ‘Keag Store (pronounced “Gig,” as a helpful note on the sign explains) since 1986. The [...]

Cantina El Rayo

by Malcolm Bedell June 6, 2012

Over the last two years, Portland’s Mexican restaurant scene has undergone a fairly massive transformation. In just 24 months, it’s as though the city collectively moved past the grim, cynical depictions of South of the Border fare, past the bottomless bowls of melted queso, and beyond fishbowl-sized frozen margaritas. All at once, Portland diners were [...]

Diner-Style Cheeseburger Sliders

by Malcolm Bedell June 4, 2012

In spite of what the good people down at the local T.G.I. Cantinagan’s might be trying to sell you (hint: it’s deep-fried Jack Daniels mayonnaise balls and bottomless blue cheese margaritas), a “slider” isn’t a miniature hamburger on a tiny hamburger bun (read Adam Kuban’s excellent essay on the subject here). And for goodness’ sake, [...]

A1 Diner

by Malcolm Bedell December 20, 2011

It’s hard to miss the A1 Diner. Perhaps it’s because the restaurant is one of the few bright spots of activity in downtown Gardiner, on a main street that must have been adorable once, but that now has an empty storefront with a “for rent” sign mirroring every other still-struggling independent retail space. Or maybe [...]

A Strategy for Maximizing Your McDonald’s Cheeseburger Enjoyment

by Malcolm Bedell November 30, 2011

I‘ll go to my grave defending the humble McDonald’s cheeseburger. The simple, most basic offering at McDonald’s, the burger on which the entire empire was built, is much maligned by hamburger enthusiasts, criticized for its tiny, well-done 1.6 ounce flat grey hamburger patties, topped with just ketchup, mustard, rehydrated onion chips, and a single thin [...]

Morse’s Lobster Shack

by Malcolm Bedell September 9, 2011

It never would occur to me to enjoy a full lobster dinner while seated behind the wheel of my car. It seems like breaking open shellfish and letting the briney liquids explode all over your dashboard, is only something you would do to a car belonging to your worst enemy. And why would your worst [...]

New Mexico-Style Poblano Chile Barbecue Burger

by Malcolm Bedell July 21, 2011

I‘ve always wondered about the New Mexico phenomenon known as the “green chile cheeseburger.” In the original version, New Mexican Hatch green chiles are fire roasted and then roughly chopped into a kind of wet mash, put on top of the burger, and then covered in cheese to hold everything together. It’s the kind of [...]
