So, the great lobster roll comparison is finished. We went to Pearl last week, which was much better than Mary's, but still left me wanting more. Incidentally, we also drank an entire bottle of Cote de Brouilly between the two of us. If you don't know what Cote de Brouilly is, it is one of the Crus of Beaujolais and it's made from the Gamay grape. The more Beaujolais I have, the more I think I'm turning into what my friend EK calls herself: "a Beaujolais slut." When the bartender asked us if we wanted it room temp or chilled, I just about squealed with joy and rapture. She was my new best friend and it is definitely a reason I will go back to Pearl (not to mention the food was good). Yes, I geek out on wine and food, if you can't already tell, but trust me - try a Beaujolais Cru - you won't be sorry. Chilled, it's the perfect summer red.
But I digress. Although Pearl was good, Ed's was the hands down winner. Even TB agreed with me, even though he was trying to convert me to Pearl before he had Ed's. The lobster is not over-mayo'd, the fries (while not traditional) are delectable and perfectly salted, the bun is buttered, yet crispy and it comes with a small side of Ed's yummy, spicy pickles. Pair that with a nice Chablis, a Cote de Provence Rose, or even better, the Cremant de Loire Rose they have as a special right now and you're set for the rest of the afternoon. I think I'm hooked!!
