In continuation of my takeout tour, I hit up @thegarrisonmaine in Yarmouth. Chef @iamchristianhayes changed up the entire format of the menu, focusing on comfort food and all the innuendo you can handle. The scallop & cod chowder (oh, they also sell wine to go) is pictured here, followed by the Short Rib sandwich with orange saffron mayo and gruyere. For dessert, shrimp dumplings.
It’s important that everyone supports these restaurants through the brutal times, even if it’s only once a week.
And of course, if you’re looking for something to accompany dinner - may I recommend Episode 13 of The Food Coma Podcast featuring fellow Yarmouth resident @nellie.coes. We discuss the nuances of relationships and you can find it at foodcomapodcast.com!
For this episode of “Not much to do but eat, drink, and watch stuff,” takeout from @coalsbayside seemed like the obvious choice to fill the void. My standing order for 2 is the Bee Cool (The hot honey gets me every time), The Rustic, an order of both the spicy cilantro wings and the maple rosemary.
PRO TIP - because the grilled pizza is so thin, it doesn’t take long to cool down if you have a bit of a drive. Fire up a dry skillet over the range and give each piece (crust side down) a quick sear. You’ll be happy you did.
More than ever it is of utmost importance to get out and support local restaurants - if you’re looking for a comprehensive list of other restaurants doing take-out/ curbside delivery check out @portlandfoodmap
Need something to do while you lounge about after gorging on pizza? Fire up a pot of @speckledaxcoffee and check out the @peterjensenbissell episode at foodcomapodcast.com!
