Jess, I wish I could traipse around Portland in search of lobster experiences, but it will have to be next time.

and you have to take your shoes off at the airport, anyway…if you show up barefoot, you’ll just save yourself time and hassle.

If you're looking for a few other experiences, start with the lobster roll at the Falmouth Town Landing - just north of Portland - for an intense exercise in jaw stretching. Should you find yourself hankering for the whole lobster/butter/corn experience, hit up Harraseeket Lobster, just south of Freeport. Don't forget the chocolate pie.</p> My husband’s from those grounds.

I'm going to be making some lobster rolls in a couple of weeks, and the best rolls I've found are at Whole Foods. They're not pre-sliced and are rather tall, so I'm hoping they'll be a good facsimile.

Trim the sidea, brush with butter and brown them and you're pretty close. Also, The Baker's Catalog sells preformed pans to make them at home.</p> Trader Joe’s has an uncut bun that can be sliced from the top.
