Look for Fred’s Fried Dough and the owner Kyle McNair.  He worked two jobs to make his dream of being a food cart come true.  He has big plans for a fried lobster roll.

Where is the line? I’m game to try one. Still, Fred’s fried dough is hard to beat.

Looking to take a step on the wild side?  Try the Lulo, a tropical citrus fruit that is part of the tomato family.
