The Today show’s top five sandwiches includes the Lobster Roll from Sam’s Chowder House in Half Moon Bay

September 30th, 2007

  And I ate it last week!!!! 

On our trip to the Bay Area last week, where we used to live, our friends who live in Half Moon Bay suggested we all go to Sam’s Chowder House for dinner.  I had never been there because it wasn’t there when I had lived out there—our friends are real foodies, so I knew we were in for a treat.  The restaurant is right on the ocean, so there are wonderful views.  It was casual though, which was good since we both had our kids in tow.

Once I mentioned the Lobster Roll on the menu, our friends chimed in about how delicious it is and how, no matter what we order, we must get two for the table to share…we also learned that it was one of the top five contenders last week for “America’s Best Sandwich” on The Today Show.

Well!!!!  East Coasters prepare yourselves!!!  This is the best lobster roll I have ever had, and for good reason!  I love lobster, and that is what you get…lots of tender big pieces of lobster which aren’t hidden under the typical mound of mayo—just light dressing of delicate butter, herb and celery.  Out of this world.  Even the ex-East Coaster in our party agreed.

If you find yourself in Half Moon Bay (where I have long had visions of my fantasy dwelling), you must go to Sam’s Chowder House for their famous Lobster Roll!  (Don’t forget—being able to have lobster in a rustic but swanky, oceanside restaurant where it is fine to have your kids in tow is a huge plus!)  Mama Jen
