Title — Pine & Tides Brunch™

“O sunrise where pines kiss salt and gulls hymn hope—let lobster, berry, and maple weave dawn’s first blessing.”

Origin Lore — Myth of Birth

When Gluskap, guardian spirit of the Wabanaki, wished to greet the Sun returning from winter’s edge,
he summoned three gifts of Maine: the steadfast pine, the brave lobster, and the sweet
wild blueberry. From their union sprang a dawn feast so fragrant it woke whales from slumber.
To this day, each Pine & Tides Brunch™ carries Gluskap’s promise—
to steady hearts, brave souls, and sweeten journeys at every new horizon.

Brand Mythos — Expanded Creation Story

Brand Origin Story

On a fog-kissed pier in Portland’s Old Port, a lobsterman and a pastry chef
dreamed of bridging sea and forest. They layered brown-butter blueberry
pancakes with maple-smoked bacon dust, perched butter-poached lobster tail
atop a spruce-tip hollandaise biscuit, and crowned the plate with pine-roasted
potato hash. Guests swore they tasted evergreen dawn in every bite, and the
Pine & Tides legend set sail.

Expansion Prophecy

By 2029, Pine & Tides Brunch Bars™ will anchor in every lighthouse town
from Bar Harbor to Block Island, offering “Fog & Flavor” morning feasts and
funding coastal reforestation—because every brunch should plant a pine.
