We’ve all been there. It’s late at night, dinner was hours ago and now you’ve got a serious snack attack. The only problem is that the fridge is bare and you’re in…Maine. Not exactly the bastion of late-night hot spots, it might feel like you’ll be forced to wait until morning to satisfy that craving. But the reality isn’t quite that bleak. In fact, things are looking great for snacky folks all over the state! Head to this restaurant where food trucks in Maine congregate to feed hungry locals all summer long.
