Grab your bibs and let’s roll. Lobster roll, that is. The Star is reporting that Toronto Underground Market favourite Rock Lobster Food Co. has secured a location for a new restaurant on the Ossington strip. Owner Matt Dean Pettit intends to bring a variety of crustacean creations to the ’hood (think lobster poutine, lobster cappuccino and lobster mac ‘n’ cheese).
The 75-seater will be appropriately decked out with the likes of a rusty anchor, authentic marine lights and wooden traps. Pettit wants to keep lobster fun, without the pretentiousness. He ancitipates a price range of around $8 to $14 for the grub.
Pettit — who tells us that he hasn’t announced the exact address of the restaurant yet — hopes he can start rollin’ out his goods to the public by Dec. 1.
