Whoopie!
Cranberry Island Kitchen of Freeport, Maine specializes in what they call “gourmet” whoopie pies. They use butter from Kate’s in Old Orchard Beach, spring water, local eggs from free-range chickens, organic vanilla, Maine sea salt… They make pumpkin whoopies filled with maple syrup-spiked cream cheese, chocolate or vanilla whoopies with raspberry filling, chocolate Christmas tree-shaped whoopies filled with peppermint cream… yeah, they are entitled to use the word gourmet. WCSH recently paid a visit to Carol Ford and Cranberry Island Kitchen. Have a look:
Wolfgang’s Steakhouse Coming to NJ
Prime, dry-aged steak, NY-style
Wolfgang Zweiner spent decades as head waiter at Brooklyn’s legendary Peter Luger steakhouse, where he learned more than a thing or two. So it was no surprise that when he hung out his own shingle in Manhattan, Wolfgang’s Steakhouse bore more than a passing resemblance to his previous employer. It’s been a huge success at that; he now has four Manhattan locations, with additional restaurants in Hawaii, Florida, California, and Tokyo. Soon to come: Somerville, New Jersey. Opening is expected sometime this winter.

Royer’s of Round Top, TX is famous for their pies, but don’t dismiss their fine fried chicken!

They’re talking spring of next year but nothing’s definite yet. Now to figure out how to become a judge at the event…
