Boston Speed Dog: A Rite of Passage
Completely thought it was baked beans too -- cannot believe I have never eaten one in Boston before. And *now* I want a hot dog topped with baked beans on a brown bread roll.
Cook the Book: 'Seven Fires'
I was in BA and Mendoza in May and we went to the Feria de Matadores outside of BA on a Sunday afternoon, listening to the music, checking out the hundreds of crafts and eating/drinking something amazing every 10 feet -- dulche de leche crepes -- thick and sweet mounds of the caramel goodness being slathered onto a 30-second old crepe made while you watch -- will always mark my taste-memory of that day.
A close second -- Malbec ice cream -- only in Mendoza!
Cook the Book: 'On the Line'
As a girl who grew up working in Maine restaurants, I will always have a soft spot for shrimp and lobster rolls. Maine shrimp is the sweetest in the world -- beautifully pink and simply dissolves in your mouth -- mix it with fresh tarragon and a wisp of mayo. The lobster, of course, requires barely a spot of mayo to bind, and should be stuffed into a buttery toasted hot dog bun and a jaw you can unhinge (one lobster per roll please!) Perfect.

two things, the header on 'Where to Eat Pizza in (sic) Lewistown' should be "Lewiston"
Also, the omission of the widely beloved George's Pizza in Auburn -- like many of Maine's top home-grown businesses, family-owned for more than 30 years -- has me concerned that this list relies entirely too much on Yelp/TripAdvisor/Chowhound "research." Next time, consider a trip. Or better yet, SPEAK to local food writers who I know would be more than happy to discuss their favorite spots. http://www.georgespizza.com/
