Small Is Beautiful
weekends with yankee

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.

Duration: 26 minutes and 46 seconds

Episode Number: 203

About Weekends with Yankee:

WEEKENDS WITH YANKEE is a 13-part travel and lifestyle series named for the long-running publication enjoyed by readers across America for more than 80 years.

With New England among the nation's top tourist destinations, the magazine-style program takes viewers on an insider's exploration of the cities, countryside locales and far-flung places in the quaint and scenic region.

The series is hosted by Richard Wiese, (Born to Explore) , an Emmy Award-winning TV personality, author and explorer who has traveled to all seven continents, participated in two expeditions to Antarctica, and cross-country skied to the North Pole.

Amy Traverso, a senior food editor at Yankee magazine who has appeared on The Martha Stewart Show and the Food Network's Throwdown with Bobby Flay, joins Richard as co-host.

She highlights recipes, local flavors and the sense of community that make up the regions' food and dining scene.

WEEKENDS WITH YANKEE offers an "all-access" behind-the-scenes pass to the unique attractions that define the region, and the hidden New England that only locals know.
