When I was on Business trips to Boston, Mass, I went north to Portland, Main and usually ate a place called "Newiches," a large "GYM' like restaurant, with open seating and sawdust on the floor. I tried to google it but it doesn't show up. The last time I was there was in 1991 or so and here's what I remember:
I ordered the 3, 1 lb Maine Lobsta's with cole slaw and french fries and iced tea:grin: The waitress comes out carrying what I know will be every day cuisine in HEAVEN:smile_big: However, there was only 2 BUGS on the platter???? She told me that they only had 2 of the 1 lb Lobsta's ready but she was giving me a 1.5 lb BUG for the same price! I of course, being a gentleman, accepted her offer:surprise: There was probably a pound of delicious Fries and the Cole slaw was top cabin and the salted melted butter was yummy:grin:
I had never, ever had my fill of Lobster before but I found it hard to finish the last of the 1.5 pound Brute on my plate but I prevailed:surprise:
My friend had breaded and deep fried Lobster, that I'd never heard of but it too was fantastic.:kiss:
My entire meal was less than $15 and as usual, as a Conservative, I left a very nice tip:smile_big:
That meal would have cost me about $50 at the time @ the Red Lobster in Southern California:surprise:
