Is McLobster making its way to more McDonald's restaurants than just the lucky few in Eastern Canada and New England? Despite an Internet buzz spreading faster than you can say "pass the butter," a blog near San Diego is claiming that it has gotten word from the Golden Arches that the speculation is unfounded. "The McLobster is McFake," surmised Deanne Goodman of the Carlsbad Patch blog.
And yet the unusual sandwich is very real in the Great White North and in certain parts of Maine where it has come and gone over the last few years. Made of 100% lobster meat from Atlantic lobsters, served on a french roll that looks like a hot dog bun, the McLobster sells for about $6 Canadian and can be ordered with fries and a drink for about $2 more. "The disturbing mix of lobster and bread is smothered in white 'McLobster sauce', which is some combination of mayonnaise, tartar sauce, and possibly some salad dressing," Zach Tropf wrote in 2009 on the Gunaxin blog. "Shredded lettuce and bits of celery are also included," he added. Although more Americans might not get their hands on a McLobster anytime soon, McDonald's has an interesting television commercial for the sandwich that can be seen after the jump.
