Greta.
Local 188. Portland, Maine. Greta Rybus and I met while she was shooting beautiful photos of beautiful food for the Sunday River issue of Maine Home + Design magazine. She photographed my dry, winter hands holding garnished cocktail glasses and mitigated my embarrassment by saying, “It’s winter in Maine. Everyone’s hands look like that.” I liked her immediately. A year and a half later, I opened a different magazine, at a different job, and saw her name on the page […]

Billy, Edison, Elissa.
Melby’s Market and Eatery. Waterford, Maine. Describe your most frustrating travel moment. Billy: “I was flying back from Los Angeles, from the International Science and Engineering Fair. While we were there, they had a big heat wave, so it was about 105 degrees every day. Flying out of LA, the jetport bridge jammed and they spent about an hour trying to fix it. Then, with a stroke of genius, they realized that they owned the bridge right next to it. […]

Colin Boyd.
Becky’s Diner. Portland, Maine. Colin and I met in New Zealand during the 2013 World Heli Challenge–he was competing and I was reporting. At the time, Colin was living in Wanaka with his then-girlfriend Sofia, an Argentinian beauty. Our meeting was one of those “of all the gin joints,” small world moments–minus the romantic overtones, obviously–because though we were both in New Zealand at that point, we both actually considered Sunday River in Maine to be our home mountain. Colin […]

The Great Breakfast Haiku Challenge
(Originally published April 26, 2015) Ms. Megan Moore, brilliant and candid author of Foodie Can’t Fail, is one of my most cherished ladies. As a breakfast enthusiast in her own right, she’s also probably the number one enabler of my dirty, little breakfast habit. The other day, she sent me this link to a Saveur post full of breakfast poems, which got me thinking, I bet you guys could really whip up some super breakfast haikus. And such was the […]
