Can't you get them for more like $25-$35? Have you checked Cousins Maine Lobster? I know, still a high price, but every bit helps when you can't resist the craving.

Well, we're pretty sandwich compatible. I'll only fight you for the grilled cheese.
There are times, or at least there were, where you can find a lobster roll in the $25-35 range, but the current average price is between $30-40, though it does fluctuate. Lobster prices have skyrocketed in the past 18 months or so with a change in the Federal Fishing Regulations concerning a change in equipment required to protect Right Whales.
Those people look like they're eager and willing to spend their last dime on that prime lobster. We used to have a tradition in my family after my mom and only sis died in a car accident. The new wife my dad took had a tradition in her family of opening one present on Christmas eve, and celebrating with fresh shrimp and King Crab. She'd go to the local farmer's market where they had gigantic King Crabs.There are times, or at least there were, where you can find a lobster roll in the $25-35 range, but the current average price is between $30-40, though it does fluctuate.

Also, all lobster rolls are not created equal, and vary in size, weight, and quality. The best lobster roll in Maine is from Red's Eats, a small family owned lobster shack on Route 1 in Wiscasset. Reds Eats (redseatsmaine.com)
King Crab is awesome! I've only had it fresh once, back when I was about 10 years old (roughly 1964) when my parents, sister & I took a two week vacation to visit the Western US National Parks, and ended up in Seattle, Washington so my dad could visit an old army buddy (they were stationed in France towards the end of WWII).
The same is true here when trying to get King Crab legs on the East Coast. The legs are smaller, don't have the same taste, and are grossly expensive, and definitely not worth the money.
Some other excellent seafoods we have here in the NW are King and especially Copper River Salmon. Very pricey stuff, but very healthy too. I usually suffice with Sockeye salmon that's quick frozen and vacuum packed, about $12 - $16 for 2 portions.
Nah, skip it—then you'd need one of those double big mouths we have in the US!
Aw man, so unfair. Put me in charge and I'll make sure you're deducted—promise!
What's all the fuss about? You never hear such hype about lakefood or riverfood or fieldfood or coopfood—hey look, my spell check doesn't think those are even words!
I've lived in Tennessee for so long that Long John Silver's seems like great eating (so long as you don't mind a short series of mini-heart attacks for the next 2 hours).

KFC is great. Taco Bell got rid of my favorite, the taco salad, but they are still decent. But the only thing decent at Pizza Hut is the creamy Italian dressing at the salad bar. I'm a bit of a pizza snob, though.Why go there when I can go to Kentacohut??

The combination Kentucky Fried Chicken/Taco Bell/Pizza Hut on Victory Boulevard in Poquoson will quietly shut its doors Tuesday night after a decade and a half of operation. “Our last day wil…
Any of you guys remember Pizza Haven? When I was in high school I used to go to the all you can eat night on Tuesdays. They made a killer Hawaiian pizza, and no, I don't feel a bit guilty about eating a pizza with pineapple on it, so don't even ask. 😛
Mods, how do you work that "ignore" feature?
I expected that, as you just admitted to being a bit of a pizza snob. 😀

No, a true pizza snob uses pizza scissors.
Well yeah, to cut a pizza in the first place. How else? People aren't actually using those funny, round things the grocery stores sell, do they??
The "in" thing to do here at the better pizza restaurants is to cut your slices with the pizza scissors. They bring them to you at the tables. I've never used them, though. Takes too much time when I can just fold the slice lengthways and cram it in my mouth.
