"A lot of Maine lobster rolls just have meat, mayo, and not much else. We appreciate simplicity, but those versions can come off as bland. That's not an issue at The Mermaid Inn. Here, fresh and tender lobster meat is mixed with minimal mayo, relatively big slices of celery, and a blend of salt, pepper, paprika, and onion powder. All of that is stuffed in a heavily buttered and toasted brioche bun (which is like a big, semi-soft crouton.) The fries on the side are the best ones on this list—like slightly well-done McDonald's fries, but with Old Bay seasoning." - Bryan Kim, Kenny Yang
