Annotations:
Just east of the village of Amagansett, toward Montauk, the towns fall away, the trees disappear, the sky opens up, and the lush farmland gives way to sand and reeds and scrub in an area called Napeague. On the ocean side of this lonely stretch of Route 27, nestled in front of dunes, a sign announces "Lunch" at a shingle-style diner. As New York magazine explained, "Anyone who's ever been to a Hampton has seen the Lobster Roll, better known as Lunch--a weather-beaten roadside clam bar, no-frills seafood restaurant, and geographic point of reference that's as much a part of the South Fork as the Montauk lighthouse."
The Lobster Roll is indeed an institution, evocative of carefree, casual summer eating--exactly the type of food in this book:
- Soups and appetizers such as New England Clam Chowder, Lobster Bisque, and Steamers and Broth
- Rolls and sandwiches that include Lobster Rolls and the Perfect Hamburger
- Perfect summer entrees like Lavender-and-Buttermilk Fried Chic
