Bubble & Squeak looks enticing to me, with scrambled eggs, onions, peppers, potatoes, spinach and goat cheese. They even have a Break-Feast, which includes a complete selection of traditional items that serves four people.
Prices generally range from $10-$12, with the Surf & Turf at $28. Flip will be open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. flipbrunchbar.com.

Finally, if you haven’t read Meredith Goad’s final column in the Maine Sunday Telegram, you can find it in the Dec. 12 edition of the food section. Meredith was a food reporter for many years until her recent retirement. She recounts fond food memories and interesting encounters with many of our well-known chefs and restaurateurs. Her stories of Maine’s culinary history are delightful.
