This Maine ‘Bucket-List Sandwich’ Is a Must-Try for Foodies

While we have plenty of iconic sandwiches here in our Pine Tree State, this one in particular is being called the best ‘bucket-list’ sandwich.

When you think of sandwiches in Maine, chances are the lobster roll is the first one that comes to mind, and honestly, that’s fair. But the sandwich we’re talking about today isn’t a lobster roll—it’s a whole different kind of must-try.

Well, with that in mind, which sandwich is being called the best ‘bucket-list’ sandwich in Maine, and where can we find it?

According to LoveFood and their recent report highlighting ‘Every US State’s Bucket-List Sandwich,’ their pick for Maine is the Duckfat T.N.T. at Duckfat in Portland. LoveFood had the following to say about their selection:

In a state dominated by lobster rolls (technically not a sandwich), it's casual Belgian-inspired restaurant Duckfat that's been winning awards since it opened in 2005.

Customers keep coming back for the duck fat Belgian fries and the Duckfat T.N.T., packed with smoked Tasso ham, Tomme cheese, and Dijonnaise in a crisp baguette.

LoveFood continues by praising the seasonal menu, noting that no matter the time of year, the sandwiches at Duckfat are always exceptional.
