SOUTH PORTLAND, MAINE (PRWEB) June 15, 2006 -- The creative chef team at popular, family-friendly Eggspectation Restaurant, located adjacent to the Maine Mall in South Portland, has been working tirelessly to create several new, Maine-inspired dishes from Maine-made producers along with refreshing libations including martinis from Cold River Vodka (Freeport) and Summer Ale for Casco Bay Brewing (Portland).

·    Maine Farmer’s Burger: ½ lb fresh patty with garlic herb cheese spread (from another Maine supplier, Beryl Marton in Ogunquit) sautéed mushrooms and caramelized onions.

·    Bourbon Steak Tips: sautéed with fresh mushrooms and onions, flambéed with bourbon.

*From Robinhood Meetinghouse (Georgetown, Chef Gagne)
