Boston Lobster Establishment Recognized As One Of The Best Seafood Restaurants

In New England Seafood is certainly loved and ordered all year long, although it feels like more of a warm weather meal. It simply pairs well with eating outside, summer cocktails, and sunshine. Food Network detailed the Massachusetts best seafood and in Boston, it was a specific lobster pound that got the nod.

Coincidentally in Red Sox country, Yankee Lobster Company was named the seafood restaurant you have to try in the Bay State. It is located at 300 Northern Ave. Open daily at 11 AM, Yankees Lobster stays open through dinner time.

Obviously, lobster is the most popular menu item here. In fact, there are eight different options. There are three different roll types: traditional, hot buttered, and fried. All are served with fresh-cut fries. They also offer 1-3 lobster platters. All of these are served with slaw and butter. The most unique lobster creations include a lobster melt (with cheese and mayonnaise) and lobster mac and cheese.

If other summertime favorite seafood options are more your flavor, you can indulge in those options at Yankee Lobster Company as well. "The Fisherman's Platter, with fish, shrimp, scallops, and whole clam bellies, is the stuff dreams are made of, with the rare combination of perfect crunch and extremely fresh seafood steaming inside the golden-brown crust," Food Network says.

In addition to the great seafood cuisine at Yankee Lobster Company, its location allows for a perfect summer evening. It's neighbors with the Leader Bank Pavilion. As you may know, this open-air concert venue is one of the best settings in the city. You're watching a live concert with the Boston Harbor in the background.

So, you can grab some delicious pre-show food at Yankee Lobster and then head next door for drinks and a fun summer concert. Given the larger seating capacity at Leader Bank, many bigger-name artists play this spot. For example, Roger Daltrey, Halestorm, Slash, Black Pumas, Melissa Etheridge, and Warren Haynes are just some of the artists scheduled to play here this coming summer.

If you are interested in taking a New England Seafood tour this summer, Food Network also called out these restaurants across the region.

As a father of four, my mornings are always a bit hectic. I enjoy being an early bird; however, I rarely have the time to prep a good breakfast. Therefore, I was quite thrilled to see that Tasting Table recognized three New England restaurants for having the best breakfast sandwiches in the country. I'm always looking for a good quick breakfast.

A morning in my world usually consists of a sunrise workout, followed by a scramble to get myself and the kids out of the house. Then I embark on an hour-long drive to the office. On the weekends, it's taking one of my kids to their sports game. Let's focus on the latter for a moment.

While I am more lenient on my breakfast choice (a banana or shake will do), I insist upon a healthy start for the little guys. Driving them all around New England on weekends requires a few drive-thru meals that you eat in the car. My preference is for the kids to have something substantial, with a protein they enjoy. A breakfast sandwich is often the choice.

The perfect breakfast sandwich should follow three simple rules. It's quick, both to order and make. It's fresh (not a microwaved egg slab pulled out of plastic). Finally, it's a balanced hand-held item that is not too heavy, processed or sugar-filled.

When trekking through interstates and unfamiliar towns at sunrise, it's easy to settle upon the quickest Dunkin' Donuts. Now, there are some other options that you (and I) should know about. These three New England restaurants ranking among the best breakfast sandwiches in the country.

Before we get into the list, it is necessary to give one other shout-out. The Portland, Oregon establishment named by Tasting Table has both the best restaurant and sandwich name. The "Yolko Ono" by Fried Egg I'm In Love.

Sofra Bakery and Café in Cambridge, MA, is the first stop. Tasting Table calls out "Geno's Egg Sandwich." This is a brioche bun filled with egg topped with halloumi cheese, feta butter, tomato concasse, and spicy green cilantro.

Next, we hop on 95 North and pull into the Elephantine Bakery in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Here the selected breakfast sandwich is called the "Egg Simit." It's the healthiest of the three choices based on pure ingredients. This sandwich consists of egg, hummus, beat pistachio spread, feta, and spinach on a sesame simit.

I actually had a very hard time securing a quick bacon, egg, and cheese this past spring while in Maine for a lacrosse tournament. Now I know I need to go to a coffee shop next time. Tandem Coffee has something so good, it doesn't even need a clever name. "The Breakfast Sandwich" is simply egg, American cheese, and smoked paprika. However, when you rest it upon a homemade buttermilk biscuit, you reach a new level.
