I went to Maine and all I can talk about are hot dogs and chicken and dumplings. What’s wrong with this picture?
Lobster, Lindsay. You forgot the lobster.
I didn’t forget the lobster. This is lobster’s year–a warm, early spring caused quite the lobsterpalooza on the Maine coast this summer. The glut was great for tourists and seafood shacks but less so for the lobstermen trying to make a living off the lowest prices in decades. We did the best we could to help; a shack’s sign along the highway announced that their lobsters were “cheaper’n hot dogs!” and we took full advantage.
