For the 60th anniversary issue, Down East magazine intensively searched the state for the best lobster roll, trying “scores of lobster rolls served up by food trucks, lobster shacks, and restaurants from Eastport to Kittery.”
Greets Eats, a food truck on Vinalhaven, scored the top spot. Local Portland-area favorites Eventide and Bite into Maine were among the 4 runners-up.
The article includes the online ad-on video of chef Sam Hayward at Fore Street demonstrating how he prepares a lobster roll.
Quite frankly, this is equivalent to choosing the best pine tree in the state of Maine. I know that all pine trees are not created equal but for the love of God what was the noticeable difference between #1 & #2 lobster roll?
