The way catering and restaurant veteran Ron Raymer tells it, he and Michael Kash came up with the concept for their new lobster and seafood house over a couple of bottles of Guinness. The two were brainstorming out a business and they settled on lobster. What good luck for all South Bayview and environs. This week Smoked and Cracked edges into its third month at 516 Mt. Pleasant Rd. We were there Monday to sample the Hot Lobster Roll and can mightily recommend it. Other members of the party equally enjoyed the Cold Lobster Roll. But there is a treasure of great dishes on the chalkboard. Pictured is a bowl of Clam Chowder for a lucky guest. The Smoked and Cracked team has a wide variety of services. Catering is second nature to them and with a week’s notice they will shuck, crack, boil, butter and whatever else your event to happy completion. It’s nice to see a couple of pros at work and there’s no doubt in our opinion that Smoked and Cracked will become a fixture in the neighborhood.
