Portland, ME: Bratwurst, Sauerkraut, and Spätzle at Schulte & Herr
Last fall, Portland welcomed Schulte & Herr, a breakfast- and lunch-only spot a few blocks over from the old Portland Public Market building. The food is traditional meat and potatoes fare up and down the menu, but everything we had tasted surprisingly delicate—refined, even. There was none of the heft and gut-busting fullness that I usually associate with German food.Video: A Day in the Life of a Seaweed Harvester in Maine
Most of the seaweed we get these days is farmed. But way up in northern Maine, Larch Hanson, aka The Seaweed Man, is still harvesting it wild in its many varieties on the rugged coast. This video shares the essence of his way of life, the poetic nature of rising at dawn to cut seaweed.A Sandwich a Day: Lobster Roll at Portland Lobster Company in Portland, Maine
Even if you're a mayo person, I'll ask you to reconsider the next time lobster is involved. Butter is one of the world's great flavor-foods, whereas commercial mayo's charms, such as they are, are largely textural. Binders and slickeners have their place, but that place is not on something as proud as lobster, which tastes so good on its own—or with butter—that it doesn't need to get by on a texturality.Portland, ME: Boda's Miang Kum Som-oh, 'Leaf-wrapped Tidbits'
The most popular appetizer (and perhaps the most impressive dish on the menu) is a dish called Miang Kum Som-oh ($5). Translations vary, but they all suggest basically the same meaning: "leaf-wrapped tidbits," "food wrapped in leaves," "many things eaten in one bite," etc.A Sandwich a Day: Lobster and Crab Roll from Harraseeket Lunch in South Freeport, Maine
A fresh lobster roll in Maine never sounds like a bad idea, but it sounds ridiculously necessary after a morning of kayaking with the LL Bean Outdoor Discovery School in Freeport. We hopped into the SE Ford after, headed to Harraseeket Lunch and Lobster. Your smart phone may not be smart enough to find it at first—it's tucked into a small marina in South Freeport.A Sandwich a Day: Lobster Roll from Scarborough Lobster in Maine
How fast can you make a U-y in the Serious Eats Ford? Pretty darn fast when lobster rolls are involved. Wheeee. We flipped around on Route 1 after passing the "Try Our Famous Lobsta Rolls $9.97" sign at Scarborough Lobster just south of Portland. We parked next to two boats and a truck in the small lot out front. That had to be a good sign.South Portland, ME: Great Bagels from Scratch Baking Co.
Scratch bagels are chewy, with an airy crumb, dark brown, crackly crust, and distinctly ripe and tangy flavor from the sourdough starter that bakery co-owner Allison Reid uses to make them.Portland, Maine: Two Terrific Seafood Pastas at Street and Co.
Street and Co. is where you go for dinner if you love seafood—especially shellfish and pasta. Two of my favorite food groups.Portland, ME: Wood Oven-Roasted Mussels and Turnspit Roast Chicken at Fore Street
There are many reasons why I love dining at Fore Street, but two of them are in direct contradiction with one another. First, the menu changes daily, which means that there are always new dishes to try. Second, the restaurant has a few signature items that never come off the menu, and I order two of them—the mussels ($10) and the roast chicken ($22)—almost every time I eat there.Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab

But chocolate gift-giving needn't be a cliché. This year, let's bake our sweethearts chocolate cakes and pies instead! Here are 8 delicious recipes perfect for celebrating your love (of chocolate.)
