It’s not surprising to find a rich, buttery, stuffed quahog studded with spicy sausage on Yankee Magazine s 2020 Yankee Food Awards list of New England’s best and most iconic foods.
But the magazine’s senior food editor Amy Traverso was a little surprised that this year’s winning “stuffie” is from Massachusetts.
“For stuffies, I assumed the winner would come from Rhode Island,” she said. “But Massachusetts is the big winner this year with six out of the 10 winners.”
The other four winners are from Maine, Connecticut and Vermont.
The stellar stuffie is the Cape’s contribution, made by Brian and Gina Robinson at the Cape Cod Stuffed Quahog Company in Monument Beach, a village in the town of Bourne on Cape Cod.
