Great new midday meals at Wise Sons, Square Meals, Seoul Patch, and New England Lobster
NEW ENGLAND LOBSTER
Industrial South San Francisco roads near SFO are certainly not the place most of us would head for lunch, and certainly not for lobster. But look for the new, bright red truck off Mitchell Avenue, right outside seafood-shellfish source New England Lobster. The best lobster rolls I've had have been from the East Coast — the divine, overflowing rolls at Pearl's Oyster Bar in New York's Greenwich Village have been excellent for years. But despite the New England moniker, this lobster is not the most flavorful nor is the bread that dreamy, buttery brioche used in the best lobster rolls. Nonetheless, they are satisfying sandwiches, particularly if you ask for drawn butter to drizzle over them.
Order: Lobster corn chowder ($5) is essentially a creamy bisque dotted with corn and chunks of lobster. It's decadent with a lobster roll. The only other option is a crab roll. If you happen to be nearby or on need lunch before a flight, this is a fun, unusual option.
