Each Monday afternoon, for 30 minutes, Stephen Joffe hosts Food Stories where he talks with local chefs, food purveyors, etc., highlighting the many facets of the “foodie culture” for which Portland, Maine is known. Listeners hear about the inspirations, experiences and unique approaches to food for each of the weekly guests. In the few months since launch “Food Stories” has focused on many aspects of the food community, from the upscale restaurants in upscale areas, to the member-owned Portland Co-Op.
