In our July/August 2012 interview (Picnic @ Griffin Rock) with Transformers executive director Jeff Kline, we asked:

What are your Maine attractions?

Jeff Kline: The Lobster Shack at Two Lights in Cape Elizabeth, the Old Port, and Marden’s (I’m not kidding).
One of the reasons we moved here was to service my wife’s passion for restaurants.
For reasons both nostalgic and current, Warren’s in Kittery [is a favorite], but [my wife] Cathy will be submitting her own “Top 25” momentarily.
