There's a handful of restaurants in Portland, Maine, that have accumulated the kind of following that gets a little nervous when things aren't the way they're supposed to be.

One of those restaurants is Saeng Thai House. The homestyle Thai restaurant has been churning out terrific food for more than 30 years. As many other Asian restaurants in the city have closed for one reason or another, Saeng Thai House has just kept going.

But over the last couple of weeks, people started to get nervous. The curtains of the small restaurant were pulled. The closed sign on the door never seemed to flip to open.

As it turns out, there's no need to worry.
