OBSESSIONS WHAT WE CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF THIS MONTH.
SNACK
BREWER NUTRITION WHY DO WE LOVE IT? Following an especially strenuous walk on the Brewer waterfront (who knew strong winds would make things so difficult?), I decided to drive over to nearby Brewer Nutrition for a much needed snack. And I am now hooked. Brewer Nutrition — located 46 Center St. — has loads of delicious options to choose from, from toasts, shakes and teas to smoothie bowls and smoothies. The smoothie I got was my favorite fruit-filled food since my beloved acai bowl at the now-closed Logical Sip. Called the Kaless Whisper, it’s filled with kale, pineapple, lime, coconut water, banana, mango and ashwagandha. It’s the perfect healthy snack for my post-workout hunger. — ROSEMARY LAUSIER
WATCH WHY DO WE LOVE IT? If you’re reading Dave Grohl’s book (recommended in the last issue!) and bummed about the cancelled Waterfront Concert, watch (or rewatch as it first came out in 2014) the band’s eight episode documentary “Sonic Highways.” The show details the making of the album of the same name, following the Foo as they travel to iconic music cities like Austin, Seattle and New York. Each episode is a deep dive into the city’s music history, including beautiful interviews conducted by Grohl (he is an excellent storyteller after all) with Dolly Parton, Buddy Guy, Emmylou Harris, Trombone Shorty, Willie Nelson and more. The band gets inspired, writes a song and each episode wraps with the Foo Fighters recording a song in spots like Zac Brown’s Southern Ground Studios in Nashville and Preservation Hall in New Orleans. You don’t have to be a Foo Fighters fan to enjoy this series — all you need is a love for music. Available on various streaming services including Amazon Prime Video. — AMY ALLEN 14 / BANGOR METRO June/July 2022
