How does New England compare to the rest of the country when it comes to fine food?
You don’t need me to tell you that you’re in one of those places that have such a strong regional cuisine of their own. Obviously much of it is from the sea, but there are so many great culinary traditions in New England. I have friends in Boston and spend time in Portsmouth. But I’m in Maine more than anywhere else. We go to one of those places where you can stay and pick mussels off the rocks, and get lobsters cheap as hamburgers! It’s a fantastic way to eat. I grew up in the Midwest. You guys have it going on compared to us. We have great barbecue steaks, that it’s it. Indiana doesn’t have a cuisine.
