Thanks to Mother Nature, Orbitz, and Continental, our trip to Maine was cancelled, which was quite a bummer. It was nice, however, to have a completely unscheduled weekend in the city, not to mention a three-day weekend. To make up for the trip, I ate lobster all weekend, starting with a lobster roll at Pearl Oyster Bar on Friday night with Katie and Greta, eggs with lobster and spinach for brunch on Sunday at Ditch Plains, and capped off with Savoy’s lobster and clam bake last night. I also beat my personal record for running — just over four miles! In between all that, I made it out to the beach — just a quick trip, but super-relaxing, nonetheless. We’re going to try to reschedule our Maine trip for a weekend in September.

Do you know where the really Ditch Plains is? Montauk NY. It is a beach. Just thought I would share. Love your blog.

As for Ditch Plains — there are some things I really like there, and others that flop a little. Strangely enough, I love their mixed green salad and I had some excellent grilled red snapper — both super simple, but done right. I adore their chicken liver mousse, and the scrambled eggs with spinach and lobster were perfect. I prefer Pearl’s lobster roll, and I didn’t really care for the mussels at all, but the oyster shooters and mudslides are good, and they make a nice and spicy bloody mary, heavy on the black pepper. And the smoked mozzarella fritters are quite good.
I did know about the Ditch Plains surf spot in Montauk — never been!
And welcome to all who are visiting from Mouthfuls!
