"Lobster Roll with Bisque. I drove all the way from New Haven just to get this lobster roll! OK, not exactly. I had never been to Boston in my life, the only American city large enough to have major league sports teams where I had not set foot. So on a visit to North America, when my daughter wanted to attend a convention in Yale-town, that gave me an excuse to nick her car for the day and motor to Harvard-ville. I needed an address to plug into the GPS, and after reading Lobster Gal 's review of this roll, it was 'Bob 's Your Uncle! ' At $27, this was the most expensive takeaway sandwich and fries I ever had. I would have eaten it in-house, but finding parking in the North End? No chance. This thing cost as much as the lobster poutine I had at a high-end restaurant in Toronto 's financial district.<br/ <br/ This thing was really just an excuse to eat lobster chunks using bread to pick them up, instead of my fingers. Great meat, wads of it, like I had ordered a lobster dinner, only they put it on bread and drenched it with gravy. This bore about the same resemblance to a common lobster roll as a filet mignon does to a Philly cheesesteak. I didn 't do the dish any favours by hauling it through the Big Dig and across town before I finally found a place by the Charles to picnic with it in the rain. Everything was so soggy by then that I hardly noticed the mozzarella on it. The fries were VERY New England, dark potatoes, skin still on. They definitely don 't make chips like that in Australia."
