Restaurant in Maine is Home to a Pair of the ‘World’s Largest’ Items

It's easy to think that some restaurants in Maine probably have it easy. Just be located near the ocean, in a tourist hub or on alongside a busy road and you've got it made, right?

Anyone who has worked in the restaurant industry knows that really isn't all it takes. Restaurants have to keep evolving and ensuring that they stand out above the rest.

Some restaurants are able to do it with clever marketing. Others are lucky enough to have a spotlight shined on them from time to time. Some just need to take matters into their own hands by making things bigger and better. Sometimes that means a lot bigger.

Taste of Maine Restaurant in Woolwich Has Become Known For the World's Largest Lobster Roll

Several years ago, the Taste of Maine restaurant decided to make some headlines by declaring that their menu features the 'world's largest lobster roll'. Those headlines have worked.

The Taste of Maine doesn't dispute that they don't own the world record for largest lobster roll but their proclamation about consistently serving the largest lobster roll on their menu holds true. It's brought tourists in from around the globe to give it a try. It's pricey and enormous but if you love lobster, it's a must-try.

Taste of Maine Restaurant is Also Home to the World's Largest Inflatable Lobster

You don't even need to step food inside the Taste of Maine restaurant in order to see another claim to fame they hold. Sprawled on top of the restaurant's roof is Larry, the world's largest inflatable lobster.

Larry is no joke, either. He stands 12 feet high and measures at 70 inches long. Even more impressive, Larry weighs 700 pounds when he is fully inflated.
