Mini profile Red Hook Lobster Pound (RHLP) brings to our nation's capital a taste of authentic Main lobster rolls. RHLP is also a proud winner of Food Truck Fights and voted as the best food truck in 2011.

| The Traditional Roll |
Traditional Roll $15 Authentic taste of Main lobster roll with homemade mayo. This roll is a perfect choice to cool you down on hot summer days. Although the lobster is served cold, it still can warm your heart and please your hungry tummy with its unique taste. The homemade mayo definitely makes the cold lobster much tastier.
Connecticut Roll $15 Amazing lobster roll with butter. This tasty lobster roll can definitely cheer you up and lift your spirit on cool or rainy days. It makes you want to come back for more. The difference between the Traditional and Connecticut rolls is that the first is served cold with homemade mayo, and the second is served warm with butter. The Connecticut roll is my favorite. The warm lobster is served with butter and warm toasted roll.
*Both rolls are also served with lemon and cucumber, but I don’t think you need them at all since the rolls are already amazing.

| The Shrimp Roll |
Shrimp Roll $8 For only $8 bucks, you can get a warm roll stuffed full of tasty fresh shrimps. The shrimps are served cold with special seasoning; therefore, they are very tasty. I believe that the shrimp roll is very similar with the lobster roll traditional style. RHLP does a great job to take the shrimp roll to the next level, and I promise you will have to come back for more.
*Also don’t forget to check out the yummy soup and other side dishes on the menu.
Tips: The best way to catch this yummy food truck and avoid a long line ( the waiting time can go up to 2 hours), is to follow the team on Twitter and/orFacebook. If the team announces to arrive at a location around 11:30 am, make sure you reserve your spot at 11:15. I was literally waiting the truck to parallel park and the line was already really long. Definitely take advantage of rainy days because the line is way shorter. Nothing can stop us from pleasing our hungry tummy.
Bonus Points: They take major credit cards, so you don’t have to bring cash. They also launched a second lobster truck, so you should be able to catch them easier.
