Make a lobster roll 3 ways with Cousins Maine Lobster
From humble beginnings to a fleet of food trucks around the country, Cousins Maine Lobster has taken the United States by storm with its fresh and delicious lobster rolls.
Cousins Jim Tselikis and Sabin Lomac opened their first food truck in 2012 in Los Angeles. Later that year, an appearance on "Shark Tank" completely changed the trajectory of business. An investment from Barbara Corcoran allowed them to expand beyond their one truck -- and California.
Now, Cousins Maine Lobster can be found in 60 cities throughout the country with 20 trucks. If you're not near one of those trucks, no problem: They also sell their products online.
Thanks to a recent appearance on "GMA3," now you can also make their lobster rolls at home. They recently shared three different varieties of lobster rolls that can be found aboard their trucks.
