But in this season 2 segment of “Weekends with Yankee” (episode 203), Amy ends the debate by crowning McLoons lobster shack in South Thomaston, Maine, as the home of the best lobster roll in New England.
The logic behind this decision is simple, because McLoons has the best of both worlds. It all starts with a classic New England top-split bun, seared on both sides with butter to form a crispy brown exterior. Then, a layer of mayo is slathered on the inside. Finally, the bun is piled high with fresh lobster meat and, if you prefer, served with a side of butter. Combining butter and mayo makes it a delicious marriage of the two divisions, and a New England classic that’s tough to beat.
