I enjoy trying regional specialties, hence my trying to recreate the Italian Beef when watching the recent season finale of The Bear.
Maine has some obvious ones, and, no, I’m not referring to the McLobster (“with flecks of real lobster” was an actual selling point back in the day), though a real lobster roll is good. No, another item you will find in that flattened bun is a Maine-only hot dog known as the red snapper. (Of if you’re like me encountering it for the first time, “Demon Dogs.” Because Thundarr).
But why? Writer Ryan McCarthy explains for Saveur.
Seriously though, if they ever do a live-action Thundarr, they should have these Maine hot dogs as some of the food in the background.
