If you're familiar with a coffee roast named, Lobster Butter Love, odds are good that you're from Michigan or you've been to Frenchboro Maine lately.

We've never seen so many people at Lunt's Dockside Deli in Frenchboro as we did in season 2020. We had stumbled in on Story Telling Night.

Locals; many of who fish and don't care for lobster (blame them?), were enjoying Lasagna. Boaters were there enjoying lobster, of course.

John (from Ann Arbor Mi.), the seasonal proprietor told the story of how he found himself in the kitchen at Lunt's.

Everyone laughed when John revealed the Lunt's only request: "Don't shame the name",...

Funny for sure but I laughed even harder when I imagined the Lunt's meeting on the dock to discuss handing over the reins of the kitchen to a guy from Michigan, that sells Lobster Butter Love Coffee. It all worked out.

There's no lobster in Lobster Butter Love coffee.

BTW: All tables were distanced, the lens closed things up.

When we went by Lunt's, we were the only people there. Must have been a Sunday, or something.

That has been our experience up until last season, when John took over the kitchen. But they still have short hours and are closed on a day or two a week.

John's latest experiment this past season was with Lobster Pizza (photo from their FB page):

Hmmm,.... Naming a coffee roast after Lobster is one thing, putting it on pizza, on the coast of Maine? :)
