On the coast of Maine, it is difficult to resist the iconic summer meal of just-caught lobster and sweet corn on the cob that's served up at rustic roadside shacks with wooden picnic tables. Now, there's an unexpected alternative to these local lobster houses. Lydia Shire has opened Blue Sky on York Beach, just 70 miles north of Boston, a restaurant that showcases this world-class chef's urban sensibility and passion for cooking lobster -- her way. Here, she has transported her inimitable style of cooking to the region's best ingredients, imparting daring concepts to food that is generally eaten simply.
