If we told you the word “lobster” can be found in the phrase, “Cape Cod’s best sandwich,” would you believe us?
You very well should. By far, the lobster roll is the most sought-after sandwich in the area, and perhaps the best iterations of it can be found here.
There are so many establishments which serve this popular item, but here is where we recommend you begin an edible tour of the Cape’s most infamous foodstuff.
