"I learned that the decades-old Fat Boy Drive-In in Brunswick recently changed hands after owners Ken and Jeanne Burton—who ran it for 36 years after taking it over from Ken’s father—decided to retire; new owner Mike Jerome (co-owner of Portland Pie Co., Bolos Kitchen Cantina and Candlepin) plans to open for the season soon. Its classic drive-in design is particularly suited to the pandemic, offering “some normalcy and some excitement” to customers seated safely in their cars, and the menu will be limited to keep the kitchen staff small and properly distanced, though classics like lobster rolls, frappes, and BLTs will definitely be available." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
