In a recent interview I mentioned Central Provisions to be one of my favorite places to eat, so when I was in Portland, ME this past weekend I made sure to drop by again. I got to go with a co-worker of mine as well as my dear friend Meredith, the people who run Map & Menu and who’re to blame for my new found appreciation for ridiculously good food.

Central Provisions is insanely popular and doesn’t take reservations, so we went extra early to make sure we’d get a table. By the time we got there just after 5 pm, there was already a 90 minute wait! Well worth it, especially when you get to pass that time with Bread and Butter and delicious drinks in their downstairs bar. Make sure to stop by when you get the chance.
