On assignment in the midcoast for @decormaine , the main attraction this time around being 18 Central Oyster Bar in Rockport. If you haven't been, get there now. Just go. Right now. My stay was obviously enhanced by the Ocean View Suite at 16 Bayview in Camden, and a mid-day sushi snack at Kurafuto. Lastly, because I couldn't help myself, I had to post my Kai-Lan Fried Chicken Bowl from Big Fin Poké - South Portland which capped off the excursion. Now it’s time to fire up some Bolognese to get us through this cold, snowy day.
