The Lobster Roll Remix, a cooking competition to benefit the Maine Lobstermen’s Relief Fund, has been added to the roster of this year’s Maine Lobster Week events.
The fifth annual Maine Lobster Week runs from Sept. 21-28. The Lobster Roll Remix is set for Thursday, Sept. 25 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Southern Maine Community College in South Portland.
The Remix event features chefs from area restaurants presenting their twists on the lobster roll. Event organizers expect rolls inspired by international cuisines including Thai, Indian, Japanese, French, Italian and Portuguese, as well as regional American versions with Texas and Maine influences.
