Lobsters are on a roll

Lobster is a rich man's food, true, which may be why it tastes so extraordinarily good piled into a humble hot dog roll. This New England specialty appears on 2 percent of menus nationwide where sandwiches are offered, according to a recent report by Nation's Restaurant News, but sales of lobster rolls "have grown steadily and appear on 52 percent more menus than just four years ago."
