Not gonna lie, the roadside fried shrimp and blueberries up there are amazing, but there is a distinct lack of chicken and waffles that far north. I don't think so.

They make up for it with soft-shell lobster, Moxie, fiddleheads, Allen's Coffee Brandy, whoopie pies, maple syrup, and some remarkably good, dry blueberry wine. I love Maine food, and I always eat way too much whenever I visit.

There's a golden opportunity for you. Get out of the library sciences game and open the first Chicken and Waffle joint in Maine.

I come off strong, but I really don't "hate" the use of, or misuse of words. If someone said "Zelda is literally epic", I'd feel like someone pulled one of my nose hairs and it would be over.

Move to Maine. Epic Win.

My wife and I have considered this. We thin good, authentic Southern cuisine by someone who knows how to prepare it would be a hit up there. We think a "southern hippie breakfast" place - like Asheville's Sunnyside Cafe or Atlanta's Flying Biscuit - would be a huge hit. Neither of us know how to (or particularly want to) run a restaurant.

Oh, I know, but down here we get grits, sorghum, collards, a variety of styles of barbecue, hushpuppies, succotash, okra, fried green tomatoes, moon pies, chess pie, sweet tea, cornbread, biscuits and tomato gravy, peach cobbler, pecans, pecan pie, key lime pie, fried alligator, banana pudding, chicken and dumplings, crawdads, chit'lins, all of creole cooking... I'm happy to stay down here.

Hahaha, I really hate working in restaurants.

I won't lie, I thought Maine was an absolutely gorgeous place when I visited it, and I would love to visit it again sometime. But if I moved from Atlanta, it would probably be to another major city for work. Maine doesn't exactly have much of my current industry.

Well, don't know if I'll enjoy my trip next week, but it sounds like I'll eat well.



I'm kidding. I'm sure I'll have a good time. The mere fact that it doesn't feel like 105 degrees up there is reason enough to celebrate.

:( : Was going to put some new brakes on my jeep today, but the guys who installed my tires really over tightened the bolts got all but 3 loosened. Nearly stripped one though so I stopped after that :( . Taking it over to the guys who installed it tomorrow to see if they can get it off without snapping a bolt and maybe replace the one I nearly stripped. At least I found out at home as opposed to on the road trying to change a flat had to use my dads socket set since my tire iron couldn't budge them :P.
