This week on Weekends with Yankee, we venture into the wild. First, cohost Richard Wiese boards a small boat off Chatham, Massachusetts, to accompany one of the leading researchers tracking the growing number of great white sharks 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. Finally, it’s off to the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, where we go flying up and down the mountain biking trails of Burke Mountain, taking in stunning scenery at every turn. In the Test Kitchen, cohost and Yankee senior food editor Amy Traverso creates a delicious graham cracker pie using a recipe from The Lost Kitchen chef-owner Erin French.
In this segment, we're in Freedom, Maine, to visit chef Erin French of The Lost Kitchen, one of the most sought-after dinner reservations in the country.
Kingdom Trails in East Burke, Vermont, offers some of the best mountain biking in the country. Plan your perfect Northeast Kingdom getaway with our guide to East Burke.
