Good Lobster Roll In Denver???

Looks like I need to get back on Twitter, which I dropped as totally inane a couple of years ago, to find the daily location of this food truck. Zagat National just posted a new feature on 11 lobster rolls to try across the U.S., and to see that one is a food truck in Denver sent this transplanted New Englander's heart into a tailspin. Here's what Zagat says about the Lobster Bliss in Denver, and you can check out the whole post at the link above for the national options:

    Lobster Bliss in Denver
    "Bliss" isn't an overstatement when it comes to the sublime lobster rolls dispensed from this super-popular food truck owned by Rich Manzo and Jeff Reebie. The fresh lobsters, sourced from Maine and Canada, are held in a 45-degree, 2,500-gallon lobster tank upon their arrival in Denver, and the unique filtration system mimics the water-cleaning action of the ocean, naturally eliminating bacterial buildup. The rolls are a mixture of claw, knuckle and tail meat tossed with a lemon aïoli, and they're served on a toasted New England–style split-top bun drizzled with clarified butter.
    Price: $16

A Tad Annoyed With Zagat's

So this is a bit of a diversion from cooking in Boulder, but it is at least food-related.  For several years, I've enjoyed rating restaurants through the Zagat survey system, particularly those we've tried in New York City, and it has always been fun to receive a complimentary copy of the corresponding new Zagat guide as a thank you.  But with Zagat's recent acquisition by Google, Google is strong-arming the review process, requiring that it be done through a Google+ account, and submitted via Google Chrome, no less.  So much for getting those free guides.  The good side is that they're evidently making the Zagat content free online in the Google tradition, but I have to wonder about the breadth of reviews they'll receive, with those submission restrictions.
