Heather Morin, co-owner of She Doesn’t Like Guthries in Lewiston, says the most important thing to remember is to “be creative.” Figure out innovative ways to do more with less. At Guthries, Morin and Letourneau manage to offer a large menu of hearty fusion and home-style cuisine using only a panini maker and a hot plate. Because they don’t have an oven, they not only use less energy, they also avoided making a costly improvement to their building that would have required them to vent the oven exhaust up three floors and out of the building.
