"A New England clamshack classic...it's Rebecca Charles of New York's Pearl Oyster Bar who claims bragging rights to the roll's newfound fame. The reason Charles's version--inspired by the many childhood summers she spent in Maine--hits the mark may be because she didn't tinker too much with tradition. Sometimes, there's nothing like the real thing."
