Bite Into Maine was founded by the husband-and-wife duo of Karl & Sarah Sutton back in 2011 as a 72 square foot food cart at the Portland Head Light along Maine's ruggedly beautiful Atlantic coast. Back then, the idea of a ânontraditionalâ lobster roll was unheard-of; they were topped with butter or mayo, and that was it. But the Suttons had a brilliant idea: offer mayo flavored with ingredients like chipotle and wasabi, used in ways that donât overwhelm the sweet, delicate flavor of the lobster.
The concept took off, and Bite Into Maine has since expanded to three locations with more than 30 employees, and they operate year-round out of a vintage Airstream trailer at Portlandâs acclaimed Allagash Brewing Co. At the heart of their spectacular lobster rolls is the freshest available Maine lobster, which gets lightly dressed with mayo (in the traditional Maine style), nestled inside a fresh locally-baked roll, and served cold. This just might be the best lobster roll, lobster grilled cheese, and lobster bisque youâll ever try, and theyâre being delivered direct from the coast of Maine to your door!
