This week on Weekends with Yankee, we find proof that in New England, small is beautiful. We kick things off with an outing to a Connecticut Tigers baseball game, where co-host Richard Wiese meets fans who cheer on their minor-league heroes with big-league fervor. Next, we travel up the coast of Maine in search of the ultimate lobster roll, which leads us to an idyllic cove in South Thomaston and a classic little shack called McLoons. To round things out, we hike into the Ossipee Mountains to discover Castle in the Clouds, a hidden gem nestled high above New Hampshire's famed Lakes Region. Back in the Test Kitchen, cohost and Yankee senior food editor Amy Traverso shares a fresh take on lobster chowder featuring saffron, tomatoes, and bacon.
