The other Portland, as it's sometimes called, used to be a food lover’s secret paradise, tucked away along Maine’s rocky coastline.  To the chagrin of many locals, this is no longer the case. The sea coast town now pops-up in many listicles and the legit food press, including some of the big boys (e.g., Food & Wine, Bon Appetite).  But don't dismay.  This town hasn’t lost any charm.  In fact, its top-notch chefs are on to second-generation projects, creating more places to check out in this food-dense oasis.  So enjoy your trip to "Vacationland" and eat more than just lobster.
