Go Washington Redskins! A Team-Themed Lobster Roll to Rock Your Football Tailgate
On November 8, the Washington Redskins take on the New England Patriots and lobster-licious destination Lobster ME has both teams covered with area-inspired lobster rolls. While New England fans might want to whip up Lobster ME’s Connecticut Lobster Roll, Washington fans can dig into the Beltway Lobster Roll. I recently sampled Lobster ME’s newest creation and let’s just say, this Connecticut girl is a big Beltway fan. Whatever side you choose, you’ll have a uniquely delicious and decadent game day treat.
