Too funny Adam! You & Craig crack me up in your videos. I'm not a big fan of lobster, but your lobster roll looked scrumptious!! The B-52's song was a perfect touch.
Oddly enough, I was watching The View as I was watching your video.

Awesome as always! I can't wait to try the recipe. Poor Craig and his little pet lobster. Sniff, sniff.

I love the video! It's so fun. The lobster roll looks delicious!
I do however miss the presence of Lolita, I think she should be in every video. :)

You're awful, awful cute Adam!
Oh, by the way...it was done early because there is NO WAY that that was a 2 and a half pound lobster. But that was a darn fine looking lobster roll.

*cackles* Fabulous.. I had no idea such a good lobster roll was so simple! Go figure.. that always seems to be the way, doesn't it.. Thanks for a great laugh to you and Craig!

Brilliant again Adam! I love the plot twist at the end. :-)

I don't know how you can chop up all the lobster for the roll without stuff handfuls of tail and claw meat in your mouth and threatening people with a knife if they try and stop you. thats how I make a lobster roll.

Awesome video, and a reminder of the wonderful lobster rolls I enjoyed on the Maine coast last year (I want to move in and live at Harraseeket Lunch in South Falmouth, Maine). I love the simple combination of ingredients in your lobster roll.
One small thing...you were hitting the lobster claw with the blade of your knife? Auuugh! Maybe the back of the knife might have been better :-)

Nice video.

The shots of Rosey were a nice touch. Great video.

Nice video but that's way too much mayo from what I could see. You really want just enough to hold things together. Also, invest in a nutcracker so you won't have to use your knife blade (!) to break the claw.
Why am I craving lobster at 8 AM??
