Maine: Portland Lunch at Duckfat

You've got to love a place called DUCK FAT.

Our lunch in Portland on Saturday was at DuckFat (on Middle Street, on the other side of Franklin). The fries were, in a word, excellent. The duck fat really makes them sing. The aioli that came with it was terrific as well.

As for the other, unimportant parts of the meal: I had a bacon-cheese-tomato panini, which was pretty good, but too much cheese. Austen had a cheese plate (with cheddar, nuts, flat bread, and apple), a bit skimpy on the cheese. Ira had the best – duck confit salad with frisee, red onion and shredded apple; it was perfectly balanced and delicious.

(Austen has more pictures of Maine here.)

I really like it when my fries can carry a tune!

So neat to read of a gastronomic family vacation! Even the kid gets in on it with exotic fare that I can't pronounce and can only marvel at!
