The new book “Classic Diners of Maine” is sure to be an indulgent read.
Author Sarah Walker Caron reveals the stories and recipes behind Maine’s most iconic community eateries in a new book, “Classic Diners of Maine.” Across Maine, iconic diners come in different shapes and sizes.

For more than ninety years, Moody’s Diner in Waldoboro has offered famous homemade pies to regulars and visitors alike. From the Lumberjack Breakfast at the Palace Diner in Biddeford to the steak and cheese omelet at the Deluxe Diner in Rumford, the new book is an indulgent read.
