I prefer Conneticut-style lobster rolls (toasted bun with drawn butter) to Maine-style (cold with mayo).

Dunno, I moved to upstate New York over 20 years ago.

My wife and daughter were in New Haven earlier this year, in the
daughter's case for the first time, and I told them to eat at Pepe's.
Yeah, sure, whatever, it's just pizza. Then they went and were
converted.

Their white clam pie is da bomb!

In California, it's tacos. In Maine, it's lobster rolls. And in Connecticut, "The One Thing You Have To Eat In Every State" is white clam pizza, according to Food & Wine.

The recent list of America's best regional foods answers the question, "If you had time to eat one thing in every state, what would it be?"

"As a magazine, over the decades of celebrating the very best of food and drink, we've come to greatly appreciate each state's unique contributions to American food culture rCo that's how this list came to be," Food & Wine editors wrote.

The writeup on Connecticut acknowledges New Haven's status as "one of America's most important pizza cities, a designation it takes very
seriously" and nods to the history of Wooster Street institutions Frank
Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana and Sally's Apizza.

I most certainly do too: https://drivemehungry.com/connecticut-lobster-roll-warm-lobster-roll/ https://drivemehungry.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/connecticut-lobster-roll-warm-lobster-roll-9.jpg
In Hawaii they hybridized it: https://www.honolulumagazine.com/we-pick-our-top-5-lobster-rolls-on-oahu/ FeastrCOs lobster roll was one of the best things I ate in all of 2020. Four ounces of chilled lobster meat are mixed with the restaurantrCOs dashi-and soy umami mayo, brushed with butter and topped with scallions, dill and Shinsato Farms Meyer lemon juice, all served on toasted KingrCOs Hawaiian rolls with a side of shoestring fries. When I take my first bite, itrCOs like everything around me comes to a halt. I stop chewing. Is this real? Succulent, butter-laden, ultra-meaty lobster chunks. Creamy, addictive mayo. The slight crunch from the scallions with a lemon spritz to finish, enveloped in soft, slightly toasted rolls. ItrCOs a mix of comfort, euphoria and a huge warm hug.
