Lobster Roll Smack Down: Rex's Versus Sea Breeze

Categories: Smackdown

Dish Shootout Lobster Roll.jpg

When I first wrote about Rex's Lobster roll, a commenter jumped in to defend Sea Breeze's offering, further north in Plano. I've had both of the rolls (I tried Sea Breeze's while reviewing the restaurant and ate Rex's only because I wanted to), but I hadn't compared them directly. With rolls stacked side-by-side, the comparison is quite easy.

An extra $4 might seem like a lot when we're talking about a sandwich that easily fits in your palm, but this isn't a sandwich you'll be eating on a daily basis=. In Dallas, eating a lobster roll feel like seems almost like a special occasion. I think the splurge is more than worth it.

The lobster roll at Sea Breeze is fresh lobster, not frozen like Rex's, makes a huge difference.   There are large chunks of lobster in Sea Breeze roll, try again

I am so exited to see states outside the New England area make Lobster rolls. I recent started my own blog and set a goal to eat and rate all lobsters rolls accross America, I will definitly be adding these two places on my list for my future travel to TX! Even tho one roll is made with frozen lobster and the other uses shreded meat, I will keep an open mind until I try them myself. If anyone's interested, please check out my blog and give me some comments on how I can make it better! (www.joyeatspi.wordpress.com)

I tweeted Sam and Mr. Tone about just that, this morning...Tone said Mert was a "busy man" (busy winning our bb league) and that Joe hisself might just put one up next week..and he finished with "Go Giants"...yet another reason for the sporti's round here not to like Joe!
