Just as I was getting ready to walk on the other side of the street, to avoid all the usual suspects at yet another Sunday street fair (Mozzarepas, turkey legs, shish kebabs, and "French" crepes), I spotted a Boston Chowda stand, for the second Sunday in a row. Being brave and curious, I took the plunge and ordered a combination for $15. This buys you a Lobster Roll and a small cup of Clam Chowder. I was skeptical about the Lobster Roll. It looked a little too "mayonaise-y" to me, but much to my surprise it was filled with chunks of lobster meat from the claw, no filler. The roll is served on a modest bed of shredded lettuce inside a New England style bun. However, the bun was a bit much--large, ungrilled, etc. So, I decided to eat the lobster meat with a fork, and enjoyed every morsel.
My food buddy enjoyed the Clam Chowder which had a nice balance of clams and potatoes, and which was not the "gloppy" mess that often passes for New England Clam Chowder.
Kudos to the Boston Chowda stand!

How did it compare to Luke's? And have you tried the Ditch Plains version? They are very different but each one has its own distinct taste and it's hard for me to compare them. What say you Carlina?
