"Saturday Traffic Alert," read the subject line of an email from our vacation property manager.
We were packing up after a blissful week in midcoast Maine, where my family and I had spent the days either on a boat; on the shore, finding leftover shells in the mudflats; or driving the rural roads of the St. George peninsula. In the evenings, we returned to the house where we cooked our own ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Burger Business (yes, that's an actual website) reports that the sandwiches will go for about $16 USD. If you just cant choose, they're also offering a Garden ...Electric blue lobster found in London fish market
Nov 16th, 2011 at 5:00PM: While dark blue is the typical color for the European lobster (while alive), an electric blue lobster, on the other hand, is a bit of a rarity. Found by Rex Goldsmith at the Billingsgate Fish Market in London, this lobster was "too nice to put in a pot and boil", according to Goldsmith.

Apr 27th, 2010 at 12:00PM: Nothing goes with summer quite like the cracking of lobster shells (and wearing a bib, even if you're a grown man). You can get a lobster anywhere, but if you're within a few hours of the New England coast, the whole experiences changes dramatically. This summer, four hotels are willing to give you and your guest a free lobster dinner when you stay only one night. Of course, it isn't a lobster ...Montreal Musts, To Eat: Liverpool
Sep 25th, 2009 at 2:00PM: Little Burgundy was once home to jazz musicians who fled Prohibition for Montreal to resume "normal" living – or at least get wasted regularly. Now, the pace isn't what it was in the 1920s, but you can still find plenty of reasons to head over to this part of town. Among the best is Liverpool House, a small restaurant with a profound menu.

Jul 15th, 2008 at 3:00PM: Location: This week Anthony is in Colombia, a country that finds itself the setting of one of South America's most remarkable transformations. In the 25 years since the death of Pablo Escobar, one of the world's most notorious drug lords, this once war-torn country has emerged like a phoenix from the scars of the past. Colombia offers Tony a tantalizing mix of cultures, delicious food and ...Maine Lobster Festival and DFW
Mar 27th, 2006 at 10:48AM: Sure it's a long way off...127 days to be
exact...but I figured this was a festival that you wanted to know about. The Maine Lobster Festival is held every year around August time in the
small Maine town of Rockland. During the festival, the town turns from a sleepy little hamlet into a riotous
