Lobster Roll Opens Southampton Location with Big Plans for Brand - Long Island Press

-

By Oliver Peterson

Napeague's famous Lobster Roll aka LUNCH opened their hotly anticipated second location in the former home of the Princess Diner and short-lived Silver Lining Diner in Southampton on Dec. 9. They have also announced big plans for the brand, which became even more well-known after it became a central location on Showtime's hit drama The Affair in 2014.

This latest addition to Lobster Roll's legacy is the restaurant's first year-round location. Co-owners Fred Terry, Andrea Anthony, and Paul DeAngelis have teamed with Irwin Simon, chairman and CEO of Tilray Inc., for this cross-town expansion. In an announcement about the opening, the restaurant's owners explain that Simon's extensive knowledge of business development will help take Lobster Roll brand to a new level.

Together, they've plotted a dramatic expansion that will eventually include everything from new merchandise and grab-and-go food items to doggy apparel and now the newly opened second Lobster Roll.

Lobster Roll has embraced a modern nostalgic shack vibe for their Southampton location, which will continue to embrace its roots as a seafood hotspot for East End visitors while also catering to the locals who remain after Labor Day.

"We go for a retro vibe," Anthony says, "we're from the '60s, and we embrace that." She plans on bringing those nostalgic feelings year round for day-trippers and vacationers alike to stop for lunch, dinner, and even just to grab a few cocktails before continuing along Montauk Highway.

While Lobster Roll is famously known as LUNCH, due to the iconic sign that sits atop the roof of their original location, the new Southampton restaurant is focusing on the dinner and cocktail menu for the year-round, late-night crowd. The beverage program leans on essentials such as the Bacardi rum splashes and frozen daiquiris, as well as new additions like the Basil Hayden Manhattan and Belvedere Cosmopolitan for Hamptonites looking to enjoy an elegant evening.

Lobster Roll will also be debuting a finely-tuned wine menu that features a few local favorites such as Wölffer Estate rosé.

Along with their namesake hot or cold lobster rolls, and other classic favorites, the restaurant is providing some new additions to their Southampton menu. For starters, diners can try the Finest Steamers and Broth, Fish N' Chips, Hearty Manhattan Seafood Chowder, and the Soup-N-Slider —a cup of either Manhattan or New England Chowder accompanied with a classic lobster salad slider.

Lobster Roll is also aiming to dismiss the controversy of seafood and cheese with their Lobster Grilled Cheese featuring fresh lobster meat with choice of cheese. "Some may call this unethical," they joke in the restaurant's announcement, "but once you try it, you'll consider it essential."

Another cheese and seafood mix, for the main course, is the beloved Baked Stuffed Flounder, featuring crabmeat stuffing with mild melted cheese, and finished with scampi butter. Paul's Famous Seafood Chili — a blend of shrimp, lobster, scallops and beans topped with melted cheddar cheese, sour cream and scallions — is also on the menu.

Affectionately known as LUNCH, Lobster Roll was purchased in 1965 by Frederick H. Terry Sr. and his father Richard C. Terry Sr. when it was a tiny roadside clam shack. Anthony joined forces with Terry in 1978, and DeAngelis came aboard three years after that.

Four decades later, Anthony and DeAngelis maintain the current ownership and management operations of Lobster Roll, transforming the busy summer eatery into a quintessential restaurant for locals, celebrities and travelers from all over the world. And now, with Simon as a new partner, the growth will continue.

Rare Frogs And Illegal Drugs - Palisades Hudson Financial Group

Colombian conservationist Ivan Lozano has hit on a brilliantly promising strategy to protect his country’s rare and endangered amphibians. His plan: Flood the market with them. Lozano is not hunting rare frogs in Colombia’s Andean forests. He is raising them himself and selling them at prices designed to undercut poachers and smugglers. If he can raise the frogs cheaply enough, and in large enough numbers, he might manage to drive down the market price to the point that poachers no longer find it worthwhile to harvest and smuggle the creatures onto the black markets. Lozano told The Associated Press that his company also encourages collectors to breed their own frogs. Picture yourself as a poacher. If the government toughens the legal penalties and steps up enforcement, you will shrug your shoulders; legal risks are a basic cost of doing business. Since the demand for your product already exists among foreign collectors and other buyers, tougher enforcement merely reduces supply a

Burn scars, winter storms threaten rare and endangered species in San Gabriel Mountains - The Bakersfield Californian

LOS ANGELES — Up until a few weeks ago, the West Fork of the San Gabriel River was one of the most abundant wildlife habitats in Los Angeles County, a secluded and rugged area defined by its steep peaks, lush canyons and mixture of rare and endangered species. Recently however, a team of federal biologists and forest rangers was aghast when it visited the stream following the Bobcat fire, which has burned more than 115,000 acres in the heart of the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument. Terrain that once resembled a High Sierra granite gorge now looked like ground zero after a nuclear explosion, and the usually clean mountain air was sharp with the stench of smoke. Particularly unsettling were the bare and ashen slopes that were now primed to dissolve under pounding winter storms. A heavy mudslide, experts said, could reverse decades of conservation efforts by inundating the last outposts for such federally protected species as the Santa Ana sucker fish and Southern California m
