The Lobster has Landed

By Roger Kamholz in Food on Dec 8, 2010 7:40PM

As we reported earlier, BOKA's Giuseppe Tentori (and of the upcoming GT Fish & Oyster) is feeding River North two classic New England delicacies, lobster rolls and clam chowder, this afternoon from the window of the Gaztro-Wagon. Twelve bucks (plus tax) gets you the aforementioned and, hey!, a delightful sugar cookie for dessert. (Thanks, Twitter!) (Ed. Note - The entire stock was sold out by 12:30 - AT.)

Don't expect a heroic portion of lobster, but what you do get is delicious. Soft bread nuzzling some nicely seasoned (and not over-mayoed) lobster, opposite a killer bowl of chowder. Lots of clams, herbs, veggies, and...is that bacon we detect? Nice.

If this is a glimpse of things to come at GT F&O, we declare ourselves excited.

Find the Gaztro-Wagon at the corner of Wells Street and Grand Avenue.
