There are no Arby's on Cape Cod.

I thought there was one in Orleans, but I'm told that it's actually a Wendy's which is basically the same thing...

There are only 3 in the whole state. Chicopee, Auburn and Marlborough (in a mall food court). Probably because MA people like to live a little longer.
 
Damn!!! Saw that lovely lobster roll you plastered all over the page West and just had to amble my way down to Lobster Landing for a taste of scrumptiousness. Being Monday, i thought i could get in and out in no time...Hell no...I had to park halfway down Commerce St. It was well worth it though as I scarfed 2 of em for a late meal delight.

That’s fantastic work, sir.
 
I ended up getting the Burrito for dinner and it was worth it from my point of view and of course, my wife got steak tacos as she is not a fan of seafood.

bumping instead of starting a new OT...

So, the Cousin's Maine lobster truck is visiting Pittsburgh this week. 20-minute drive from where I live. Is it worth it?

Pittsburgh not a lobster town, so haven't had lobster in years, or a lobster roll since the late 90s. Amused to see the first-listed item on their menu is "Connecticut Lobster Roll". Anyone tried their chowdah?

I'm not sure I would enjoy it as much in cold weather.

Notice they use the CT style in their photo.

Smart.
 
Never heard of it. But if they are keeping the lobsters alive until sandwich day I can't see how bad it could be. How good it is depends on how much you like lobster.

The price is righteous too. 15.95 for a roll. Crap I pay more than that on the shoreline here.
 
They have a truck in Charlotte and visit local breweries around the area. I tried Cousin's Maine in August, had the Connecticut roll with extra meat. Paid around $20 or so, pretty good roll, lobster tasted fresh, definitely the best roll I've had while living down here. I would have it again for sure.
 
Oh, and Lobster Landing has announced that they will be opening April 11th for their 2019 season!

Was up in Groton today and took the opportunity to check Ford’s lobster roll off the list. I am very glad I did because I cannot imagine ever getting near the place in the summer.

It is undoubtedly better than Abbott’s. And I will say it: it may be better than Lobster Landing. It was at least as good, but it seemed to have just a touch more lobster, just a touch more butter and just a touch larger split hot dog roll. Tough call. It could also be that I haven’t had one in a few months now, but this is really a terrific lobster roll. They may be 1 and 1A. They both must have toddler labor factories churning these things out.

Their clear broth chowder (“Noank” style) was also very good. And the rest of the menu looked pretty great as well.

The lobster risotto is excellent.

They had an appetizer with fried lobster and risotto balls and my wife was debating ordering it for the table. I was glad she didn’t because there was too much food as it was, but they sounded decadently delicious.

She got the lobster bisque and my daughter got the NE clam chowder and both were very good, but very rich for my tastes. Wife and mother in law also got the lobster tacos, and I ended up polishing off one of my wife’s tacos. Again, very good, but when I have great lobster with hot butter I can’t see adding stuff like chipotle aoli or mango salsa to it.

Which brings me to their lobster bomb. OMG. Half pound of buttered lobster in a fresh baked bread bowl, topped with lobster bisque?!?! A couple next to us ordered one each. That’s an $86 lunch before drinks and tip. We saw quite a few others get the bomb as well, and I think every one of them left the bread bowl mostly uneaten. I cannot imagine how full and logy you must feel after one of those.

The boule dough for the bomb is from NYC. The bread is very good. My brother ate the whole thing but he always had a hollow leg... one of those taller lean types that never gets fat. Hate him.

I'm sure it tastes great and I would love it. I just can't imagine stuffing that in on top of a half pound of buttered lobster and a ladle of lobster bisque. I would definitely eat a few bites though.

BTW, the fried lobster and risotto balls come with a little cup of lobster bisque for dipping, because, you know, they aren't already rich enough. I'm surprised they don't cover them in cheese, too. What's not to love?

Went to Abbott’s for the first time this year lobster was over cooked was not the only one complaining from what could see

I have to make a run to mystic in a few weeks for a family thing. Been to Abbott's twice in recent times and was satisfied. Should I stick to it or try Ford's this time or something else nearby? It's going to be a hit & run as the function ends at 2 PM on a Sunday and I know the drive back to North Jersey on a Summer Sunday afternoon is going to be a fracking nightmare.
