They folded in Hyannis twenty years ago and in Bangor eight or ten years ago. How they ever thought that their packaged crud could compete with the real thing is beyond me.

I have no idea where to even find a Red Lobster——never been to one.

(I could search Google,I suppose,but I don’t really care.)

I'm a New Englander too and going to a Red Lobster around here would be as sacrilegious as going to a Sbarro's in Manhattan for a slice of pizza or going to the Outback to get a steak when you are in Texas.

When you are in New England (from Maine to Hyannis), you must stop at one of the dozens of clam shacks and lobster pounds that dot the coast, especially around the major beaches. Typically they are barn-like structures with picnic-table seating inside (outside during the short months of summer but watch out for the horseflies) and some of them let you lug in your own booze in a cooler. Also, plan to get messy! Grab plenty of napkins and make sure you take advantage of the deep sinks they have to wash your hands more thoroughly afterwards.
