Tight budget, full plate in Portland

East End A must on almost any culinary traveler’s list, no matter what the budget, is Duck Fat ( 43 Middle St., 207-774-8080, www.duckfat.com ), owned by James Beard Award-winning chef Rob Evans, of Hugo’s fame. Duck Fat has earned national kudos for its Belgian fries, double fried in duck fat, and served with a choice of enticing sauces. Split a large order ($6.25), and match it with a panini, soup, and/or salad ($5.75-$13), and a house-made soda. Finish with a beignet, a doughnut hole topped with spicy chocolate, powdered sugar, or cinnamon sugar ($3.75).
