Lobster Roll - Quest for the Best!!! Maine, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island

I rambled across coastal New England in search of the ultimate lobster roll. I didn’t find a bad one. I found many delicious ones. They were so good that I feel the need to continue so that I’m absolutely sure about which one is the best.
