<\/a>Above is a picture of an amazing hot dog.\u00a0 It’s called “A Dog Named Jeff” and it’s got mayonnaise, stone ground mustard, caramelized onions and fresh onions…and maybe something else.\u00a0 It’s hard to remember.\u00a0 Anyway, the hot dogs and their respective combination (they’ve got a dozen or so creations that I’d never think of) are awesome.\u00a0 But that’s not why we go to Wannwaf. \u00a0 We go to Wannawaf for the ice cream. Staying with the theme from Part 1, Wannawaf is an order at the window and eat at picnic tables establishment located on the waterfront in the Harbor.\u00a0 They serve ice cream sundaes over Belgian waffles.\u00a0 The combinations, once again, are incredible. This time around we tried a S’more variety: waffle, vanilla ice cream, marshmallow topping, hot fudge and walnuts. \u00a0So good.<\/p>\nGelato Fiasco<\/a> (Brunswick)<\/h3>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.gelatofiasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/gelato-trays.jpg\" "\\"gelatio\\"")

If you leave the Boothbay penninsula and head south–to go to Brunswick, Cooks Corner, or Portland, you’ll come close to or go through Brunswick.\u00a0 And when my family passes through Brunswick, we stop at Gelato Fiasco pretty much every time. \u00a0My sister once went 3 times in one weekend, it’s that good.\u00a0 As I’ve mentioned before<\/a>, the flavor\u00a0selection<\/a> is creative and delicious(banana, chocolate orange, ginger, pomegranate lime, dark chocolate caramel) and the atmosphere is inviting and relaxing. \u00a0Gelato Fiasco also supplies a number of Maine and New Hampshire restaurants and stores with their product<\/a>, including a recently opened gelato stand in Boothbay Harbor.<\/p>\nDowneast Ice Cream Factory (Boothbay Harbor)<\/h3>\n
When I worked summers in Boothbay Harbor (every summer of my high school and college careers, plus a couple summers after), I always sent people to the Downeast Ice Cream Factory for dessert. \u00a0The servings are big, the ice cream locally made and they have tons of flavors, many Maine related (maple, blueberry, whoopie pie, etc).<\/p>\n

\n
As I mentioned\u00a0last year<\/a>, Coastal Maine Popcorn is one of my favorite places to grab a snack in Boothbay Harbor. \u00a0They make 34 flavors and though I’m much more into savory popcorn (salt & vinegar, buffalo wing, wasabi soy) than sweet (marshmallow, fresh peach, root beer), I’ve never had a flavor that didn’t taste exactly like what it was supposed to. \u00a0Brian and I headed home with 3 bags this trip: Tuscan Herb, White Cheddar and Parmesan Garlic. \u00a0 Of course, we’re all out again, so if anyone in Boothbay wants to send some our way, we’d be eternally grateful.<\/p>\nFrontier Cafe<\/a> (Brunswick)<\/h3>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.relishments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/IMG_2635-300x225.jpg\" "\\"Frontier\\"")
<\/a><\/p>\nIf I lived in Brunswick, I’d probably spend a lot of time at the Frontier Cafe (when I wasn’t eating gelato, of course). \u00a0I reviewed them a year ago<\/a>, but I needed to share the experience with Brian. The Frontier Cafe is a combination of wonderful things: good coffee, local and organic food, art, films, beer and wine. This time around, Brian and I got the French Marketplate (<\/strong>Black Forest Ham, Brie, House Made Pate, Fish Bowl Farm Organic Roasted Beet, Sliced Tomato, Coquillo Olives, Cornichons, Grainy Mustard, Baguette); as you can see, it’s beautiful. \u00a0It tasted beautiful, too.<\/p>\nHonorable Mentions:<\/h3>\n
Sarah’s Cafe<\/a> (Wiscasset) – We didn’t have time to go to Sarah’s this time around, but their diverse menu and reasonable prices helped make Sarah’s one of my family’s favorites.<\/p>\n
