This week on Weekends with Yankee, senior food editor Amy Traverso discovers the secrets to a perfect winter getaway in Waldoboro, Maine. First, she stops in at Tops'l Farm, a glamping resort and culinary destination, for a festive raclette dinner, then visits local landmark Morse's Sauerkraut to check out a host of imported gourmet and specialty items, including its namesake sauerkraut and pickles. Capping off the visit, Amy settles in at Waldoboro's famous Moody's Diner for a mouthwatering slice of pie. Heading south to Mystic, Connecticut, adventurer Richard Wiese takes us back in time to see what gave the famous seaport its name. He boards the Roann, one of the last surviving examples of a wooden rigged fishing vessel, and rows out on an old Grand Banks dory with Mystic Seaport Museum's Maria Petrillo as his guide. Fast-forwarding to the present, he joins Captain Jay Salvatore aboard the Osprey for a little early morning fishing. Finally, we make our way up the coast to Rhode Island, for an insider's tour of Duparquet Copper Cookware, one of the few remaining makers of high-end copper cookware in North America.
