Who’s behind VOTEMEAL?

Ricky and Molly Wood, former owners of are the team behind VOTEMEAL. We want to establish connections with local restaurants and the community to provide a unique dining experience - one that contributes to a great cause.

Ricky is born and raised in Portland and has been cooking professionally in the area for nearly 20 years.

Molly has lived in the Portland area since 2004 and has extensive experience in the food and wine industry.

We live in Westbrook and have 3 amazing dogs: Piglet, Angus and Rio!

We started Rick’s Lobby Cafe in Portland in 2015. It was immediately important to us that we establish great relationships with the members of the community. People were so supportive of our business, through the ups and downs of being first-time business owners, through the pandemic lockdown, and through the struggles involving returning to work following such a trying time. We are grateful for the opportunity to provide delicious food and for the camaraderie we felt from our patrons and supporters.

We are thrilled to introduce you to our new business venture. We hope that together we can all experience these great restaurants and help fight the good fight against hunger and food scarcity in our community.
