2) West End: Alex Steed of Knack Factory has interviewed Briana Holt, baker for the upcoming Tandem Cafe and Bakery.

3) Portland: Coffee by Design (CBD) celebrated its 20th anniversary on Tuesday, July 1. Its annual Birthday Blend roast is available in 2lb packages at the special price of $19.94 through July 7, and CBD locations will have coffee and tea drink specials through the end of July. This month a portion of the proceeds from the Independents Blend, celebrating independent businesses, will benefit Portland Buy Local, an organization which CBD co-owners Mary Allen Lindemann and Alan Spear helped found.

4) Maine: In anticipation of July 4 weekend, Laura McCandlish covers a few locavore hot dogs for the Press Herald, including Maine Family Farms pork-beef hot dogs, "a plainer, blank canvas that Portland husband-and-wife chefs Damian Sansonetti and Ilma Lopez choose for their wildly inventive dogs at Blue Rooster Food Co." The piece may reopen a debate about what constitutes "local," as it details how Pineland Farms has its meat trucked to Milwaukee to be made into hot dogs. [PPH]
