I had two great whole lobsters at Blue Fin and being from up north, I can say they were outstanding. Why are there food trucks in Brownwood?

If you want a whole lobster in a restaurant BlueFin's are great. If you want to eat at home you can order whole New Englasters from Lighthouse Seafood Market on 466.

Maine Lobster is Real. Florida Lobster is from

Did you get the Connecticut or Maine lobster roll? I prefer CT. You can sign up to be notified by email whenever they will be in The Villages.

The Maine lobster roll. That is what I am used to. I like a lobster dinner with butter but a lobster roll with mayo.

Their web site lists the area where they sustainably catch their lobsters--in Maine.

The cousins were on "Shark Tank"and Barbara partnered with them. Her strategy was to franchise, and that is what they did. The boys are from Maine.

They are opening another of their restaurants in Clearwater on Saturday.
The trucks move around and you have to ck their website every week to see where they are.

I'm with you 100% on that. I'm from Connecticut though so I may be biased. Did you know...

It's not really a "Connecticut" thing. Not a state-wide thing. It's mostly just on the shoreline from New Haven up, and in several fried-fish seafood joints inland in New Haven County. In Hartford and Ledyard, it's cold lobster salad in a bun, with mayo.

I am going slightly off topic here ......... I am very much in favor of food trucks, whether it be LOBSTER (yes), Mexican, Indian .... whatever, the food is usually excellent or the truck does not last too long. However, I would think that for them to park their food truck in TV would cost them which, I suppose, is why the Lobster truck is in Palm Ridge which TV do not own. I don't think TV would allow restaurants on wheels to take money out of TV without leaving them a piece of the profits. Also, there must be a lot of regulations on these food trucks from the local councils.

We spent several years in the UK and Oxford Street in London had lots of outside food stands which was a great way for office works and tourists to get lunch without spending time in a restaurant waiting to be seated and served. I have relatives in Singapore and they always eat their evening meals off the food trucks or street stands.

The Mods might tell me I should have started a new topic on food trucks.

Food trucks are regulated in Florida and perhaps you haven’t seen the news that The Viilages have arranged for several food trucks south of 44.
