I never thought that I would get into a debate regarding lobster rolls.

However, I agree that I probably mis-spoke calling it lobster salad. It was clearly lobster meat and mayo. However, it was a small portion on a small hot dog roll essentially heavy on the mayo and light on the lobster. IMHO, the portion was small for the $11 price (with fries) in that a lobster roll at McCormick and Schmidt (Fanuel Hall) was about $15 for a much larger portion on a larger roll with large chunks of lobster and side dishes. IMHO there was nothing special about this lobster roll and I would rate it very low. If we are focusing on improvement, here are my suggestions:

- Larger portion heavier on the lobster meat and lighter on the mayo
- Larger pieces of lobster
- A larger (potentially toasted) roll
- Lettuce is sometimes good to keep the mayo etc from making the roll soggy
- A side as a throw-in would be nice.

Sorry to disagree with the consensus, but I call them as I see them. In fairness, I never talked to Pepper about my observations and they might have been willing to make adjustments.
