Bar Lola opened in May, 2006 at Portland, Maine. Why do I blog about this restaurant? It's because the chef/owner of this restaurant is my cousin Guy. I haven't met him personally because he has not been in the Philippines ever. And I on the other hand haven't set foot on the USA, specifically in Maine. His sister doesn't miss sending a Christmas card every year. Pictures are enclosed every time. I knew since 2006 that Guy and his wife Stella opened a restaurant. But it was just this year that I thought of looking for it through Google. I did found their website and read reviews about Bar Lola. One of the reviews even mentioned one recipe Guy is serving in his restaurant. He is serving a Filipino dish which he called the Tony's Chicken and Rice recipe. Tony was my father's eldest brother.
"At Bar Lola in Portland, think building blocks. The menu,
designed by architect-turned-chef and restauranteur Guy Hernandez ,
is comprised of small, medium and large dishes all meant
to stack up to a complete dining experience."

I have been to Maine several times and Portland only once. Maine is a incredibly beautiful state from the coastlines with jutting rocks and sqaut light houses to the inland filled with nothing but wilderness. My dad lives in Maine now, on the coast. If you ever come to America definitly put Maine on your must see list.
Thanks J Scott.
You and your dad might want to try eating at Bar Lola. ;)

If ever I get there I'll look it up and tell them where I found it!
