A recent feature in "7 Standout Lobster Rolls to Try in Maine" in written by 🦞
"Don’t be fooled by the understatement on Twelve’s menu, which promises only a lobster roll “served warm, with butter.” As you might expect from a team that includes chef Colin Wyatt, an Eleven Madison Park alum, this is no simple Connecticut-style roll.
Pastry chef Georgia Macon, who honed her skills at San Francisco’s Tartine Bakery, has entered the lobster roll canon with a flaky puff pastry, as crackly at the edges as the hunks of lobster are tender."
A shout out to the other noteworthy lobster rolls mentioned:

Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate our anniversary last Sunday.
Some things change but some thing stay the same. Still as thankful for this team as we were the day we opened. A toast to 2 years.
Roasted lamb leg, fava beans, greek yogurt, mint + cilantro.
"The subtle green notes in addition to notes of plum and blackberry with balanced structure that won’t overpower the lamb makes this a perfect pairing."
Paired with our 2021 Ridge 'Lytton Springs' Zinfandel blend.
