Maine Lobster Roll
🦞
Photo coming soon
The first lobster roll is credited to Connecticut, where it was served warm with butter; Maine made the cold, mayo-dressed version its own.
Chilled chunks of lobster lightly dressed with mayonnaise in a buttered, toasted bun, sold from roadside lobster shacks along the coast.
Why it's made this way: Roadside stands on Maine's Route 1 such as Red's Eats in Wiscasset helped make the lobster roll the state's summer signature.
