Cousins Maine Lobster Trucks Visit Capital Region This Weekend

If you are feeling a little landlocked this weekend, you can get a taste of the coast in several Capital Region towns.

I will admit that we do have some really good seafood restaurants here in the Capital Region. But sometimes when it comes to certain dishes, you just want to go to the most qualified experts. For example, you would not look anywhere outside of the state of New York for a great slice of pizza, right? You would go to the best of the best right here in the Capital Region and Upstate New York.

Well, the same applies to lobster. When you want a region's specialty, you go to the experts in the region. In this case, Maine, which is a little bit of a drive. But this weekend (August 13-14, 2022) - that great Maine lobster and preparation is coming to US right here in the Capital Region!
