Meet Ben Sargent, a Boston born and bred die-hard traditionalist when it comes to seafood.
Benâs got a boneâ¦actually, make that cartilage to pick with New York Cityâs lobster rolls, claiming that most New Yorkers donât know what a ârealâ lobster roll is, the kind he grew up on eating dockside in Cape Cod and Boston.
So, aiming to educate, he opened The Underground Lobster Pound, a questionably legal underground lobster shack out of his basement apartment in Brooklyn, welcoming friends, strangers and die-hard lobster roll aficionados to get a true taste of what âGod had a hand in creatingââ¦the true version of the Northeast lobster roll. Itâs a roll he believes in and the start of a lobster roll and chowder shack he hopes to build in the near future.
To find Ben & his secret underground lobster pound, you can DM me on Twitter at @SkeeterNYC.
