Editorial Summary

The creators explore the town of Bar Harbor, Maine, during the peak summer season to sample various seafood dishes. They compare the bustling summer atmosphere to their previous visit in April, which they describe as a ghost town. The food tour focuses heavily on lobster, featuring a variety of preparations including traditional lobster rolls, clam chowder, and blueberry tarts. The creators visit several local establishments, such as Gettys by the Sea, Side Street Cafe, and Bar Harbor Lobster Pound, to try specialized items like lobster quesadillas, lobster nachos, and lobster grilled cheese. They also sample non-seafood options like pizza and chicken wraps, as well as local beverages including IPAs and cider. After tasting multiple dishes, the creators conclude that while classic lobster rolls are excellent, the more unique preparations like the lobster quesadilla and lobster mac and cheese were their personal favorites. They note that while Maine lobster can be expensive, the quality and variety of dishes make the experience worthwhile.
