Why does nobody talk about how the 'famous' $18 lobster roll from The Coastal Cruiser in Portland last summer was just okay?
After waiting in line for 45 minutes, I got a small, lukewarm roll that was mostly mayo and celery, which was a huge letdown compared to the hype from all the local food blogs.

Honestly, I used to defend that place because the photos looked so good. Seeing @cole356 talk about the wait and the celery made me admit my last one was just sad, mostly filler and not much warm lobster.

The food blog photos are a total trap. They show a mountain of perfect lobster on a golden bun, but you get a sad scoop of cold salad. It's all about the lighting and the one perfect roll they made for the camera. My friend got one where the bun was soggy from too much mayo. After that wait, you just feel cheated.

I waited 50 minutes for that thing and felt like a total clown. My own fault for trusting a lobster roll with that much celery.
