The First and Only Book About Wiscasset, Maine’s ‘Red’s Eats’

The tiny, very busy lobster shack now has its very own book.

The first and only book about the tiny red phenomenon Red's Eats is out. 'Red's Eats: World's Best Lobster Shack'. If you've never been to Red's you most certainly have heard about it. It's the place on Route One in Wiscasset where the loyal and hungry will wait well over an hour in line for a lobster roll like no other. Debbie Cronk, whose family has owned Red's Eats for more than 30 years, shared stories and memorabilia for the book.
