Cheese Louise turned their prep kitchen along the Kancamagus Highway into a restaurant called The Commissary . They opened a second location at the popular outlet mall Settlers Green in North Conway last summer. And to further expand the empire, they ll now be a hotspot at a prime location in Portland s Old Port.
