Skull and Rolls

I'm a sucker for this kind of thing. Apparently there's a guy in Greenpoint named Ben Sargent, who hails from the lobster loving city of Boston. Give Ben a call and he will whip you up a lobster roll... yeh it's that simple. Sarge runs a unlicensed (illegal) lobster business from his apartment, and if you call him during the evening you can stop buy and pick up your rolls. If it's late at night he even runs a mail slot service, which will drop your rolls through a mail slot. So why would you make a trip out to Greenpoint for lobster rolls? Well you really need to appreciate your lobster. Ben won't say where his lobster comes from, but since hes a Boston guy I'm going to assume it comes from Cape Cod (Which means its delicious), and he also guarantees that your lobster is less then 24 hours out of the world, which makes all the difference for a good lobster. Besides the taste there's something nice about an unlicensed New England native (complete with patriots hat, flannel, and baggy jeans) running a lobster speakeasy in a city which tends to get too fancy with its seafood. I'm making it my food goal of the month to eat one of Ben's rolls and I'll let you know what I think.
