A Day at the Maine Diner
Before leaving for seven months in Asia, I knew that I had to get my final New England lobster fix. And for me, there’s only one place: the Maine Diner.
You know that I’ve extolled its virtues before. It’s one of very few restaurants for which I’m willing to drive over an hour. You can get lobster is so many forms — from rolls to stew to sandwiches to quiche to omelets.
Seafood chowder? Probably one of the best things I’ve ever had in my life. I get it every time I go.
I’m embarrassed to say that I devoured my lobster pie so quickly, I didn’t get a chance to take a picture until it was gone! Well, there was lobster. Lots of it. And breadcrumbs. And lots of melted butter.
Here’s the original video that I made about the Maine Diner this summer:
Since I’ve last written about the Maine Diner, the show has been featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. For my international readers, it’s a great show on Food Network about great classic American restaurants.
Here’s the video, and you get to see how they make both the seafood chowder and the lobster pie. Definitely worth a view if you have a few mintues.
This time, I brought my mom, who had never been. She loved it.
Many thanks to Myles, one of the co-owners, who was wonderful to us yesterday! I know I’ll be back as soon as I return from Asia this spring.

At age 26, I quit my job to travel the world alone. I spent six fantastic months in Southeast Asia and turned my travel blog into a full-time business. Today, I travel full-time, going anywhere that sounds wacky or beautiful or interesting. My goal is to show YOU how you can travel the world on your own -- easily, safely, and adventurously. 
LOL at the empty pie plate! I do that sometimes, too. I’ll be so hungry and the food will be so good that I forget to take a picture until it’s gone. You’ve got me salivating for lobster now…thanks a lot.
When we were in San Francisco we found ourselves eating every 2-3 hours for 3 days straight. Since I live in the middle of Texas I had to get my seafood fix in.
