Lobster Roll

United States

The marker of summer in New England. The debate between Connecticut style — warm with drawn butter — and Maine style — cold with mayo — will never end.

New England's great sandwich — cold lobster claw and tail meat bound with mayonnaise and tarragon, served in a toasted butter-split roll. Maine's gift to the world.
