Me and my friend Arbo with the 2 Lobster meal for $33 (amaze-ballz deal!)
Christine and I with our COOLHAUS ice cream sandwiches. (and yes, Christine bought those spiffy/weirdo/OG hipster tourist glasses at the fest for just $8)
The "modeling" shot Arbo made me pose for at the harbor :-P
It was a great afternoon of food and fun, plus the mid-September LA weather was perfect. I totes recommend it to anyone, especially if you can appreciate good seafood. The lobster was literally melt-in-your-mouth delicious! (Christine would know, she devoured two whole lobsters in ONE sitting...she needs to enter a competitive eating competition, seriously!)
Things to note about this year's Lobsterfest:
- Parking is annoying. You must park at the cruise ship parking lots and then take a "shuttle" (aka-- a very uncomfortable, old yellow school bus to the festival)
- Admission is $10. Though, we found $2 off coupons online.
- Lobster hats are only $5...and obviously well worth it.
- One of the local live bands we heard while we dined was Deap Vally. They absolutely suck. Worst live performance, ever. Their song "Drought" was particularly nauseating)
- If you have friends who hate Lobster, like my friend Arbo, that's okay! Bring them along, because there were at least 6 other food trucks on site including the Nom Nom truck, Barbie's Q truck, and COOLHAUS
- Speaking of COOLHAUS, found out that the famous ice cream sandwich truck is opening a store front location in Culver City in October! Fab news, right? Now we don't have to stalk the damn trucks on Twitter all the time to find out where the hell we have to trek to in order to get ourselves a bomb.com bacon and red velvet ice cream sandwich!
Overall, minus the school bus parking sitch and Deap Vally, I give Lobsterfest 2 thumbs up!
