"A Birmingham restaurant hosts an annual Lobster Pound that runs through September and focuses on both Maine and Connecticut-style lobster rolls, with Connecticut-style consistently more popular. The event began in 2019 as a summer experiment and has since sold more than 30,000 lobster rolls; during the Lobster Pound the restaurant serves roughly 175–200 pounds of lobster per day. Prices have risen this year (lobster rolls listed at $28 versus $24 last year), reflecting broader market-driven cost increases." - Monica Williams
