Settler Way Street Fiesta (9/5/26) 

Pizza from Pizza Market in Auburn

"Market Special" - Pepperoni, ham, sausage, hamburger, mushroom, peppers, onions and tomatoes. $14.50

Casey: 4/5. Perfectly cooked, which is a feat in itself given the number of toppings. Could have used a bit more sauce, but that may be intentional since the pie also has tomatoes. Toppings to the edge! 

Bern: 8.2/10. Nice, thick topping. A good amount of cheese. Bern also thinks it could have a bit more sauce. We will be back!

Poutine Blog: Pinky D's Food Truck in Lisbon Falls, ME (Tasty Tuesday)

We got the new "Tennessee Brisket" version. Meat was tender and the fries/gravy never seems to disappoint. 

Casey: 4/5. Could've used a bit more seasoning on the brisket. I would likely order the General Tso's next time (my go-to at Pinky D's). 

Bern: 8/10. Liked the sauce, could've melted the cheese. Brisket was okay. 

Pizza from Brickyard Hollow in Brunswick

Casey: 4/5. My type of pie - greasy and thin. Would have been virtually perfect if it had some sauce - did it have sauce? I couldn't tell... Would get it again.

Bern: 6.5/10. Too salty, no sauce. Greasy, tasted like frozen crust. 

Burger Blog: Brickyard Hollow (Brunswick, ME)

Casey: 7/10. Uninspiring, but not bad. Victim of the "unseasoned" meat. I added salt and pepper and it helped the profile. Would order again, but would likely opt to go elsewhere if I were in the mood for a burger.

Bern: 6.9/10. Boring. No seasoning. Meh. At least it wasn't frozen.

Burger Blog: Frank's (Lisbon Falls, ME)

Casey: 7/10. Needed more seasoning, but otherwise solid. Slightly undercooked.

Bern: 8/10. Definitely not frozen meat. Needed more cheese!

Burger Blog: Black Cow (Portland, ME)

Casey - Double Smash (beef smash patty, American cheese, iceberg, pickles, house mustard, onion, c.t. mayonnaise, black cow bun):  9.5/10. Basically perfect. They didn't just slap a hunk of lettuce on here, they shredded it. Pickles were sour, which I personally love. Seasoning for days, basically perfect - the only critique I have is that the cheese wasn't fully melted.  

Bern - Mushroom Swiss (beef smash patty, Swiss cheese, sauteed mushrooms, bordelaise sauce, black cow bun): 9/10. Loose formation, cheese was good. A little greasy, so the bun was a bit soggy.

Burger Blog: The Pub - Baxter Brewing (Lewiston, ME)

Double smash...

Casey: 7.5/10. Decent. Burger seemed dense for a smash, but was flavored well. 

Bern:  7/10. Wanted a better cheese profile.
