Businesses are continuing to move into the city as it undergoes its foodie renaissance. 

Richie Ribeye's moved into town just six months ago, and owners Jennifer Blomquist and Matthew Spence have been extremely pleased with the community response to their Philly cheesesteaks. 

"Everything's been awesome. We've been rocking and rolling," Spence said.

"This is new and exciting. Young people are coming in, and then the older generations that are here are so supportive, and they're excited, and they love seeing the whole community being revitalized," Blomquist said. 

The Food & Wine article, written by the magazine's editors, refers to Biddeford as "Portland, Maine's quiet older sister with great taste—the one you ask for recommendations on nicely curated bottle shops and vintage clothing boutiques."

Many in Biddeford, however, are looking forward to making the community stand out on it's own.   

"We're not going be twins to Portland. We're going to be our own thing here. Biddeford's its own," Blomquist said. 

"Now that there's enough places to go over the course of a day, you don't really have to leave the Biddeford/Saco area to have a full experience," Pinard said.
