Blaze, Bangor

We have been to Blaze twice now in Bangor and once in Bar Harbor. We have not yet had dinner, but we have had lunch and Sunday Brunch there.

First, we went on St. Patrick’s day and got fish and chips cooked in duckfat. We split it between two of us. We got enough to eat and it was tasty enough. It seemed the duckfat made it seem lighter and less greasy. We also got Jameson’s in coffee with whipped cream and they were very well made.

We noticed on the shelf was a bottle marked “Bacon”. Upon asking we were informed that they infuse their own vodka for specialty drinks. I asked what drink they made with bacon infused vodka and was told it was used for the Sunday brunch Bloody Marys. That was that. We were there next Sunday to try them out.

As I remember it, they have a regular Bloody Mary and a House bloody Mary with jalapenos and bacon vodka. It arrived with a slice of bacon on top, too. Very tasty. Spicy, too! Breakfast was very good.

Another time, we went to have microbrew draft beer, as they normally have at least 50 to choose from. We had a difficult time deciding, so we ordered six 8 ounce glasses of beer (a sampler) and tried a number of them. We got a wood fired pizza to keep them company. That was a wonderful afternoon. Cathy’s Coffee infused Stout was the winner and you haven’t lived until you try it.

Once we tried their pumpkin pie and their pumpkin bread with ice cream. Get either of these with a pint of Cathy’s Coffee infused Stout and enjoy the party in your mouth. It is like a parade you eat and drink. Pure happiness!

Beef up your wallet before you go, as you will end up eating their wonderful homemade desserts and drinking their wonderful drinks. It is a fun place with a calm atmosphere and we will go anytime we are invited and many times when we aren’t.
