My family and I went on a road trip all across the country about a year ago. We started at Columbus, Ohio and, after we had charted a course, packed some things and turned on the home alarms Columbus service, we were on our way. We passed through most of the states on the east coast, but one place that still stands out in my mind to this day is Maine. And, while I hate to admit it, the reason isn’t because of any natural attractions or sites – it’s because of the food.

Hugo’s – This was the first restaurant we visited during our trip through. I had never had seafood that tasted so fresh nor was so expertly prepared as what I tasted and experienced in this fantastic establishment. And just the atmosphere itself was brilliant.

Fore Street – We found the establishment quite by accident during out travels but I still had to take a look inside. However, once I caught a whiff of those rustic dishes cooked from the wood oven, I knew we couldn’t pass this up.

Like I said, I don’t remember much about Maine beyond that but if you are looking for some of the best food on the east coast, Maine is a great place to start.
