Maine
02 | LOBSTER ROLL Lobster roll is a Maine specialty consisting of cooked lobster meat that is, ideally, drizzled with melted butter and placed into long hot dog rolls. Additionally, the sandwich might include lettuce, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Traditional accompaniments include potato chips or french fries on the side. Some claim that the lobster roll first appeared at Perry’s in Milford, Connecticut, while others claim it was first prepared at Red’s in Wiscasset, Maine. Regardless of the origins, the entire state of Maine continues to honor the tradition by o«ering more versions of lobster rolls than the first inventor could have possibly imagined, starting an endless debate over how it should be made and who makes the best rolls.

03 | ITALIAN SANDWICH Italian sandwich is an American sandwich consisting of a long bread roll filled with cheese such as provolone, meats such as salami, mortadella, and ham, and condiments such as tomatoes, olives, pickles, and onions. It is believed that the first Italian sandwich was created in Portland, Maine, in 1899 by an Italian baker named Giovanni Amato. He originally created it as an inexpensive, portable lunch for road construction workers, but today it has gained such popularity that it is a staple of numerous variety stores and sandwich shops throughout Maine.
