The Lobster Question Yes, this is Maine.  Yes, we know you want to eat lobster.  No, lobster is NOT on the menu during the conference.  The conference planning committee made the decision not to offer lobster because of the exorbitant cost involved.  We encourage lobster lovers to visit a local restaurant and enjoy a lobster feast sometime during your stay in Maine.  Here's a list of the best places to eat fresh Maine lobster.
