Discover The Secret Behind Maine's Most Talked-About Restaurant

Lovefood is a popular online food platform that provides recipes, cooking guides, food news, restaurant reviews, and meal planning.

They also make lists, which we love, so when it came down to choosing the "most famous" restaurant in each state, we just HAD to know what their choice for Maine was.

Nailing down the best is no easy task. Every state has a variety of dining options, simpler fare, to Michelin starred fine dining restaurants.

Erin French is the owner of The Lost Kitchen, located at 22 Mill Street, in Freedom, Maine. This place is a foodie's dream come true, so much so, that it has become something of a phenomenon.

Incredibly, the restaurant has a capacity of only 48 seats and is so inundated with requests for reservations, that you have to send a postcard to have a shot at getting a table.

Since they are only open from May to October, this is not an easy task. Diners are chosen through a random drawing.

It is also popular, because of the beautiful location in Freedom, its unique cuisine, and farm-to-table dinners that have drawn raves from people all over the world.

Erin has made The Lost Kitchen so famous since its opening back in 2014, that is has its own TV show, which you can find on the Magnolia Network, which is now part of the Max streaming service.

She and her husband, Michael, travel across America to discover ideas for new recipes for the restaurant. The series premiere of GettingLost with Erin French, debuts on Sunday, June 23rd.

In addition, she has also authored books, and been featured on the Drew Barrymore Show, The Today Show, and CBS Sunday Morning.

Erin's backstory is incredible. In 2013, she entered rehab to treat an addiction to alcohol and prescription drugs. At the time, she was in a troubled first marriage, which resulted in divorce, a bitter custody battle for her son, and the loss of her first restaurant, which makes her smashing success even more impressive.

French detailed these struggles in her book "Finding Freedom: A Cook's Story; Remaking a Life from Scratch"
