Making Magic at Under Canvas

As a Maine native and F&B Manager at Under Canvas Acadia, Nick Pappas is an integral part of the guest experience, feeding our hungry adventurers. “I’m the guy behind guest favorites like our lobster bakes and oyster tastings,” he says. “But sometimes my job is also running the register, food, doing prep, and dishes. We had to overcome some pretty crazy hurdles last year, but we did everything with a smile on our faces so the guests never knew.”

He works to deliver a magical experience for guests, no matter what it takes behind the scenes. “When I was brought on, my biggest vision was to feature Maine. Every single day we sourced fresh, local seafood. I would send out a message to the whole team letting them know what the catch of the day was, and throughout the day we would share different ideas on how to best prepare it. By the time the afternoon came around, we had this amazing, well-composed dish the entire team collaborated on and, as a result, you could see it in the quality of what we served.”

This year, Nick is hoping to take things to the next level by introducing new flavors and flair on-site. “Lobster Hash with Poached Egg and House Hollandaise. We really nailed it with our dinner menu last season, now I want to step up our breakfast,” he says. “And this is one of those WOW dishes. It’s beautiful, elegant, and delicious.”

The Natural World

There’s something special about disconnecting, heading out into the natural world, and leaving your worries behind. Korean-American content creator and entrepreneur Laura Jung says nothing gets her going more than the prospect of a trip to the great outdoors.

Dividing her time between New York City and Seoul, she understands the allure of unpacking in nature. “As someone who has spent her entire life growing up and living in major cities, being immersed in nature is not something that comes as often as I would like,” she says. “So when I get the opportunity to spend time in nature, I rebrand myself for those few days and fully integrate in the lifestyle.”

Laura’s Packing List

 Hiking shoes  Waterproof windbreaker  Lightweight and durable backpack  A scarf

 Slippers  A cute, multifunctional hat

 Sunscreen

 Bug spray  A journal
