"I believe I can fly / I believe I can touch the sky." While R. Kelly only believed that he could fly, your humble reviewers did, in fact, fly — to Dallas, Texas, to try lobster rolls in the Lone Star State. While it is not a place that would first spring to mind as a lobster paradise, it would be arrogant to believe that only New Englanders enjoy the delight of Atlantic crustacean meat in hot dog buns.
The reviewers found Rex's Seafood located in a strip mall in Dallas, an inauspicious location, though the restaurant was fully packed when they arrived. Although the popularity of the restaurant was clear, your humble reviewers found some very strange conditions. For example, the chowdah that was ordered came back suspiciously solid, fried, and with tails rather than the expected clammy wonder. Though it was overall tasty, it did fail to deliver on the main qualities of a great chowder — creamy, hearty, rich, and comforting.
Nor did the lobster roll provide the wonders that the reviewers were expecting. Though the lobster roll was delightfully creamy, the bun was cut into a triangle and did not hold any lobster. Furthermore, the lobster had the appearance of shrimp, and it was soaked in a viscous sauce on a bed of noodles. To say that this lobster roll was unique would be an understatement.
Your humble reviewers' visit to Rex's Seafood was one that left us dazed and confused. What was it that we really ate? Only Rex knows.
