Francine's Bistro
This is a local favorite. This restaurant is chef owned by Brian Hill. Brian is a very accomplished Chef and former punk rock star, and has made his little reaturant a destination in itself. If you can get a reservation in the summer, you are one of the lucky few. Make reservations the minute you decide to come to Camden. A little secret trick is to try and get a place at the bar to eat if you can't get reservations they allow this. Boston Globe Article date May 30th 2008: HEADLINE: From cooking on the sideto a Maine event BYLINE: Jonathan Levitt Globe Correspondent Food & Travel CAMDEN, Maine - The chef and owner of Francine Bistro here doesn't just cook the best birds he can find, he also goes to a farm to pick them up himself. At Maine-ly Poultry, a patched together, hillside chicken and egg farm in neighboring Warren, Brian Hill loads his butch new Toyota FJ Cruiser with 16 whole birds, and another 120 pounds of feet and bones for making stock. "These birds were killed this morning," explains the chef. "It's crazy, but at the restaurant we roast them to order - stuffed with thyme, sprinkled with Maine sea salt, and cooked in the hottest oven for 20 minutes." At Francine Bistro, a whimsical 29-seat restaurant close to the harbor here, Hill can do things like that. His small, personal establishment is the type of place many good cooks dream about opening. From seats at the bar, you can watch Hill in the kitchen. He is clean and precise, moving around like a tai chi master, assembling delicate herb salads alongside big, bloody, local dry-aged rib eyes - "like James Bond would eat," says the chef. He fries potatoes in olive oil with Provencal herbs, smokes lamb riblets, and pan roasts mussels on a bed of pine needles. The menu changes every day. "It's luxurious comfort food," he says. "I cook for the weather and with the seasons." This is a second career for Hill, 42, a Camden native. For almost two decades, he made a living as a nomadic musician who cooked on the side. He returned to his hometown 4 1/2 years ago. The restaurant is small but doesn't skimp on the good stuff. There's a liquor license at the bar along with an espresso machine, and enough forsythia and tulips for a wedding party. After service, Hill mixes hearty bread dough to proof overnight. In the morning he bakes big gnarly rounds until they're charred and smell like good coffee. "I've been baking bread since I was a little kid," says the chef. "I do it because I love to do it." Hill grew up on a back-to-the-land goat dairy his parents ran in Warren. At 10, his first job was clubbing dogfish on a gillnet boat off Monhegan Island. After high school, Island Records signed his rock 'n' roll band, Heretix. "We sounded like Nirvana before Nirvana," he says. For 10 years Hill wrote songs and played lead guitar, touring the country and playing with big names like Aerosmith and Joe Strummer of the Clash. "On tour I ate at the best barbecue joints and seafood shacks," he says. "I tasted everything, simple food that was unbelievably good. I ate and I cataloged Page 1 away all those tastes for someday - for now." Between tours Hill worked part time in restaurants. His first gig was baking bread for Figs in Charlestown when Todd English was in the kitchen. The band broke up in the mid-'90s and Hill turned to cooking full time. He worked in fine dining kitchens around the country. By 2001 he was ready for his own place. "I got in my truck and I drove around looking for the perfect spot to open this kind of restaurant," he says. That tour took him to Key West, Fla., and deep into the mountains of North Carolina. He settled on Maine. Francine already existed as a groovy coffee shop. For a year Hill cooked tasting menus on a hot plate until he got the feel of the place. Then he bought the business. There's been a line out the door ever since. Next week Hill plans to knock down a wall to expand the kitchen and make room for 10 seats. "It will be bigger and more civilized but I won't mess with the place too much," says Hill. "Francine is a bistro, people come here by themselves, and they come here every day. It's what I always wanted." At midnight Camden is salty and quiet. The bell buoys ring outside the harbor. At Francine, Hill shapes the last loaf of bread. The music is loud and the lights are low. He's by himself now, offstage, but still rocking.
