Lydia Shire Comes to Maine!

Note: I reviewed Blue Sky on December 30.

Chef Lydia Shire (of Locke Ober fame) has opened her first Maine restaurant. Teaming up with developer Don Rivers and his wife Mary, the restaurant, "Blue Sky, is now open for business in York Beach.

I first became a Lydia Shire fan when I dined at her Park Plaza restaurant, Pignoli. It was there that I learned it was possible to have rare Ahi tuna that is warm in the middle. She infused the fish with hot orange essence...never have I had tuna prepared so exquisitely.

I look forward to checking out her latest endeavor...if you beat me to it, let me know how it is.
