When Erin French pitched the idea to open a restaurant in the middle of nowhere, she was at a point in her life that can only be described as “rock bottom.” Still in the midst of a tumultuous divorce, she had lost everything her home, her job, even custody of her son. She was also freshly out of rehab for a prescription drug addiction.
“I wasn’t the best candidate where you thought opening a restaurant would be a successful solution,” French admits. “But I felt it in my gut that this was my way to find a new life.”

After the unprecedented summer of 2020, many are looking towards this summer with a little more optimism. The pandemic is not over and masking, social distancing, and caution will still be the norm, but as the vaccination becomes more widely available, it is likely that we will begin the transition back to something that feels a bit more like the Before Times. If getting outside of your bubble is a possibility this summer, consider some daycations that you might otherwise overlook, which will serve both as a reminder of the richness of our area while also keeping money local, helping the regional economy.
“I would never be here if I didn’t go through those hard moments” Author: Rob Caldwell Updated: 10:38 AM EDT April 12, 2021
PORTLAND, Maine On the dust jacket of her new memoir is a list of some of the accolades that have come Erin French’s way, and to call them glowing would perhaps be an understatement. To name just two: Her restaurant, the Lost Kitchen in her hometown of Freedom, Maine, was “named one of Time magazine’s World’s Greatest Places and one of ‘Twelve Restaurants Worth Traveling Across the World to Experience’ by Bloomberg.”
Heady stuff. So it comes as a jarring surprise to read the book, “Finding Freedom,” and be taken to some of the truly dark places French found herself in before she opened the Lost Kitchen. Her life was a wreck, and she struggled with anxiety, depression, a toxic marriage, heavy drinking, and addiction to prescription pills.
