With all the options and alternatives in TV and the surrounding area.....food truck? Not for me!

Yale Hospital in New Haven has food trucks representing restaurants in the area lining the streets near the main entrance. They have to have special permits, are there on specific schedules and days. They are the reason why the hospital employees, nurses, doctors, office workers, phlebotomists, janitors, etc. - are able to enjoy a lunch OTHER than cafeteria food, bring their own every day, or pay extra for delivery service which may or may not arrive when they're actually on their lunch break.

The truck brings the entire menu to them, parks it outside their doors, they go out, pick their choice for the day, and they can be back to work before their half hour or 45-minute break is over.

Huge convenience, excellent food (it's food they would eat at the restaurant, if they had time to do so during their shift). It's a little more expensive than the actual restaurant's prices but only marginally. They're paying for the convenience of having the food right there outside their hospital's door, waiting for them to ask for it.

Can't compare lunch wagons as a substitute for a proper retail infrastructure in the largest retirement community in the world.

Used to love hearing the following from ,the submarine tender 1MC
"the roach coach is @ the head of the pier"--all the boat sailors who were in the duty section--would descend on those roach coaches

cold sandwiches and luke warm coffee--such a treat

You do have the option to take it home. Where there no restaurants for 5 or more miles, it an option, NOT requirement

was not impressed, felt overpriced

No, not yet

Oh please - those "proper retail infrastructures" can't even manage a decent slice of pizza.

I compare lobster rolls against Geoffrey Zakarian's lobster roll that I had at Ocean Blue walk up window on an NCL cruise ship. That lobster roll was to die for. Unfortunately, Cousin's lobster roll paled in comparison.

This is Zakarian's recipe. OMG......sooooooo good......

That's lobster salad, not a lobster roll.
Lobster roll doesn't need a recipe. It's hot buttered lobster, in a roll.
