“Weekends with Yankee” Episode 506: Off the Beaten Track

In this episode of Weekends with Yankee, we venture out into the wild. Co-host Richard Wiese boards a small boat off Chatham, Massachusetts, accompanied by Greg Skomal, one of the leading researchers who is tracking a growing number of great white sharks swimming along the Atlantic coast. From there, we head to a remote corner of inland Maine to visit The Lost Kitchen, one of the most sought-after dinner reservations in the country. Then it’s off to the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont to fly up and down the mountain biking trails of Burke Mountain, taking in stunning scenery at every turn. Back in her home kitchen, Co-host Amy Traverso creates a delicious graham cracker pie using a recipe shared by The Lost Kitchen owner-chef, Erin French.
