#12. Where to eat.

My summer just went from "full-tilt" to "flat-out insane".

Oh my goodness! That has to be good for your resume, though. "Oh yeah, I just happen to cook at a restaurant EVERYONE'S HEARD OF."

That article links to the restaurant's page.

We REALLY need to update the page. That menu is from when I was there before. In 2009.

But yeah, it's fucking awesome. And I've got 2 menus to play with this time around - we're installing a full zinc wraparound raw bar that's gonna have its own menu. Crudos, ceviches, a dozen or more varieties of oysters on the half shell as well as littleneck clams on the half shell, sashimi, locally-harvested seaweed, and all kinds of good stuff. Plus the regular restaurant menu, which will no longer include pizzas and which will have a constantly changing menu of seasonal specials in addition to the lobster rolls and fried clams-type stuff the tourists expect. This is a real opportunity for me to make a name for myself and I'm pretty stoked about it.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

That sounds fucking DELICIOUS and I wish I could partake firsthand!

[Reginald Ret]

WOOOOOO!

[LMNO]

Yeah, this will need to happen.

That's great!

Glad to hear it, that sounds awesome.

I bet the lobster rolls you spags have up there are divine.
They are pathetic here.

....on this peninsula.

Well yeah, lobster that isn't fresh off the boat sucks ass. There's a HUGE difference in taste between a live lobster that's been recently pulled from the seawater and a live lobster that's been sitting in a fake seawater tank in a supermarket and/or wholesaler holding tank.

Also, people elsewhere tend to make the mistake of putting ANY SHIT IN THEIR LOBSTER ROLL THAT ISN'T MOTHERFUCKING LOBSTER. Seriously, a TINY touch of mayo and NOT A DAMN THING ELSE. Put fucking celery or minced onion or goddamn caraway seeds or some stupid shit in your lobster roll? HUH, MOTHERFUCKERS?!? I will gut you from stem to stern for such heresy. Also, lightly buttered, lightly toasted split-top buns or GTFO.

Sad thing is, there are lobsters here, but nobody wants em.
My brother used to catch em when he'd go to Jupiter.
Florida: everything is frozen and pre-packaged here.

(not everything, but most things)

That explains why the lobster I've had has been far from impressive.

No, there are langoustines there. Real lobsters do not live farther south than Rhode Island. If it doesn't have a pair of big-ass claws, it's not a lobster.

Though spiny "lobster" are delicious. I actually prefer their flavor to the flavor of real lobster, but real lobster is about 1000x more tender.

Yep. I mean, how good would a plate of totchos be if you boxed them up and sent them to Maine?
