PORTLAND, Maine — The website Eater Maine announced Tuesday that it would no longer write stories about Maine’s restaurant scene but would maintain its reference maps of restaurants around the state.
Adam Callaghan, the site’s editor, posted online Tuesday morning that the site “will discontinue the food and restaurant world coverage that’s been our modus operandi since 2012.”
“Come Monday, the site will deliver periodic updates to important maps, but no daily food news,” Callaghan wrote.
The Eater Maine site was part of a national network of websites covering local restaurant scenes, mostly in specific cities and not entire states. Callaghan wrote the Eater Boston and Eater.com sites “will continue on as news resources for northeastern food culture.”
Callaghan said he would be taking on a new post as editor of Eater Seattle.
Since starting the site, he watched the restaurant scene in Maine go through some dramatic changes.
“It’s been a distinct pleasure for me to play a role in Maine’s growing food scene, which changed so drastically from when I was growing up here to when I returned as an adult five years ago,” Callaghan wrote.
