WILMINGTON Austin Herndon and Amanda Chason will be prepping 100 or so pounds of lobster for Wilmington’s launch of the food truck Lobster Dogs on Sunday. The franchised mobile eatery will make its debut with lobster, crab and shrimp rolls at Flying Machine Brewing Company on Jan. 3 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
“It’s the most people we’ve ever served, if they all show up,” Herndon said.
Herndon uses the standard metric of expecting 10% or 15% of “interested” Facebook followers to turn out. 2,000 have responded, which he thinks will be around 200 people or so. It will top the 150 the young couple served in one day in the Asheville area earlier in 2020.
