We had quite the record setting week last week and one hell of a Fleet Floatilla!!! Fleet Floatilla you ask -- music, beers, babes (literally babies), bikinis, and boats!
Now the numbers...
8/3 – Liza B boat record of 27 in one haul, and LDL Co. record day of 32.
8/8 – Murphy's Claw boat record of 16 in one haul.
Complete week total of 78 which, oh by the way, is another record!
We knocked off 35 people last week alone (probs a record but I don’t have that data)...sorry not sorry! And with another strong week ahead there are many more in the danger zone!!!!
YTD 2019 - 147
YTD 2020 - 298
Alright, no rambling this week because I have a HUUUUUGGGGGEEEEE (Trump voice) announcement! Get ready to jump off your seats...and get your a$$ to Maine!
The City of Portsmouth, The Portsmouth Citizen Response Task Force, along with the PopUp NH team have created a really cool dining and performance venue in downtown Portsmouth... a quick hop, jump and a skip from Badgers Island (yes many of you fellow potters still haven't visited us!)
In these crazy times a lot of restaurants and small businesses are struggling to reach customers. The solution: food truck-esque sheds are open every Thursday through Sunday to help awesome food make it into the mouths of customers! There are four sheds including one dedicated to local craft beers and the others to food. We expect the turn out to be strong.!!!!!!!!
In case you thought we were just dinking around with all this stuff or just here to gamble on how many bugs we could catch… LDL Co is introducing itself to the world this Sunday 8/16/2020 12pm – 8pm and hopefully every Sunday through October!!! “LD’s” Lobster Rolls will be available along with a Lobster Dip, Lobster Bisque, Full NE Lobster Boil, Ice Cream, and COCKTAILS! Fellow potter Matt Junkin and I will be cooking and shucking 50 of these sea bugs tomorrow evening (additional 25 live ones get delivered Sunday morning), probably over a few cold ones from our unofficial beer sponsor – PBR! This week we are starting small and hopefully will run out – not too early though. First come first serve! To follow all CDC guidelines and Portsmouth rules, all ordering is done online. For those of you around, here is the link for more info https://www.popupnh.org/ ! LD’s menu will be live on this site and volunteers will bring the deliciousness right to you. The only “Super Spreaders” here will be the dip. Keep an eye on the Instagram handle for updates! We hope to see you there!!!!!!
The above major announcement leads me to the first – but very deserving repeat Spot Light Company of The Week – Dos Amigos (previous spotlight Jumpin’ Jays shares the same owners) which is owned and led by the one and only Joel Harris – one of Portsmouth’s top restauranteurs! This pop-up lobster roll shack would not be possible if not for him! He is involved on two separate nights, Thursdays with his Dos Amigos crew (Mexican duh) and Sundays he switches his craft to Lobster, or “Langosta” en Español!
Little (BIG) Disclaimer: Matt, Joel, Liza, and I have been working on a little secret aside from this pop-up thing for about a year now. This pop-up shack technically is not Little Duder Lobster Rolls or shack, but they are our Lobsters! LD’s will be used as a spin off so Joel can operate under his license! Joel, who was more than capable of doing this by himself, was kind enough to include us in this “test” of what the future will soon hopefully hold!!
Hope all of our local peeps can make it down to see it LD’s in action! Everyone will be socially distanced and safe!
Here’s to rolls of lobster and cash!
Peace, Love, and Lobsters!
