Maine Restaurant Debuts 3-Foot-Long 'Monster' Lobster Roll

As tourism picks up again this spring and summer in Maine, a lot of those visiting Vacationland will have their mind on one thing. Food.

Specifically, getting their hands on a classic Maine lobster roll.

They're not hard to find. Mom and pop joints up and down the Maine coast feature them on their menus. Even some quick service or fast food restaurants bring lobster rolls to the table in the summer.
