Lobster Roll
Day 034/365
When I read the order form at Au Bon Pain to select a sandwich, my eyes were drawn to a new item that was starred: Lobster salad sandwich. I had to try one or three out with cucumbers (free add-on).
Most menu items cost anywhere between $1.99 for a simple bagel, to $8.00 for a crafted sandwich with premium [paid] extras. Imagine my surprise when I looked up at the menu board, after ordering one, to discover that it costs $12.99. It is a good price for a lobster sandwich, yet, the price was still a bit startling.

I must apologize for the messy appearance of the cross section. My only weapon on hand was a very small and flimsy plastic knife...so saw I did, tearing apart the croissant and squishing the sandwich.
Au Bon Pain was not stingy with the filling. Thankfully, there were no pieces of celery, onions, etc. in the "salad," just mayonnaise, so I could actually taste the lobster. Alone, without mayonnaise, the lobster has a rather poor texture, as if they were previously frozen.
It still is a delicious sandwich, and something I would order again!

Love lobster rolls. There is a food truck that sells them around here. Yes, a food truck. Somewhere around $16 a sandwich. Yes. $16 for something off a food truck. But it's AWESOME. (the truck is part of a restaurant that is well known out her for their lobster rolls).
Hi Mrs. L,
Wow, $16 is a lot more than what one would expect for a food truck order that doesn't have you balancing a plate, boat, utensils, and a cup in your mouth.
However, a good lobster roll is gonna cost $$. Would love to check that out some day!
