A good lobster roll is hard to find in San Francisco, but displaced New Englanders can now get their fix at the newly opened North Beach Lobster Shack. The “Maine lobster roll,” a generous mound of fresh lobster meat anointed with mayonnaise and piled high on a buttered bun, is the thing to order, and co-owners Russell Deutsch and Ed Rounds do it right. When the East Coast natives couldn’t find top-loading hot-dog buns (the only bun for the job) in SF, they had molds made and commissioned a local bakery to produce them. Live Maine lobsters are flown in twice a week, and you can wash down your meal with an Old Thumper ale from Portland’s Shipyard Brewing Company. At nearly $18 a pop, this isn’t a bargain lunch, but a taste of the good life never comes cheap.
