Maine Lobster Ice Cream
Location: Cousins Maine Lobster Restaurant

Cronie Burger

Price: $13.50
Why You Need To Try It: It seems burgers have become the next salad in that you can throw just about anything in it. This burger is a combination of a French doughnut tossed in cinnamon sugar and served with a half-pound of Angus beef, topped with maple-pepper bacon, smoked gouda cheese, and an over-medium egg. Pace yourself.
Mama Ling Ling's Thanksgiving Sandwich
