Lobster-roll-a-thon: The Lobster Shack II - The Mega Roll

In search of a quick no fuss lunch on an overcast vacationing Thursday, my wife offered to hit up the Lobster Shack for takeout again while I put the littlest one down for a nap. I figured this was my chance to see if the LS had lost their stuff, or if my memory had completely failed me... And so I asked Lori to pick me up the mega roll (my name for it, not theirs). The roll i got earlier in the week was relatively lame, and I was excited to see if the mega roll could deliver. Here's my take:

Price: $20 (yikes!). This was the most expensive roll I had all week. 

Bun: A well done buttered and griddle-grilled roll, same as the wimpy roll. 

Lobster solo: Still very well cooked. With some big chunks this time, and a healthy amount of mayo. 

Finxins: Same treatment as before, they only use Mayo. But they are a bit heavy-handed. 

Overall: This was waaaaay better than the wimpy roll. The amount of meat was right, and the quality of meat was a huge improvement. They have become mayo fanatics which is too bad, but its not insane or anything... it could just be cut back a bit. Its definitely a solid roll, and I'm glad my memory is not totally failing me. I think $20 is kind of insane though considering the other two establishments that are within 50 yards make damn fine rolls for 5 bucks less. Though every roll comes with a cup of chowder, so 20 smackers for a roll and chowder ain't bad... except when you don't want that chowder.
