What the creator captured
Eater explores how a Maine-based smokehouse successfully blends Texas barbecue traditions with local coastal ingredients like lobster and mussels. The chefs demonstrate their unique process of using seaweed to protect delicate seafood from dry heat while utilizing a custom-built, heavy-duty smoker designed to withstand freezing Maine winters. The highlight is the seamless integration of Latin American spices and local seafood into a classic barbecue framework.
