A diverse range of cuisines curated by Black, Indigenous, and female chef owners of color will be featured. Seating on the terrace will be accessible year-round and includes wheelchair accessible/ADA approved tables.
On September 20, enjoy food from Cousins Maine Lobster! A successful nationwide franchise, Cousins Maine Lobster garnered national fame after their appearance on ABC's Shark Tank. They partnered with Shark and real estate mogul Barbara Corcoran and now operate over 35 trucks and 9 restaurants across the US. They currently gross over $40 million a year in sales. Cousins Maine Lobster has been featured on The Food Network, Good Morning America, Fox Business, The Today Show, CNBC, The Cooking Channel, and more. Started in 2012 by real-life Cousins and Mainers, Jim Tselikis and Sabin Lomac, Cousins Maine Lobster began with two things: A Food Truck, and a shared vision to extend the highest-quality Maine lobster to the lobster-starved masses by making it affordable and accessible.
Cousins Maine Lobster brings an authentic Maine seafood experience by staying close to the source and proudly serving only premium, wild-caught, sustainably harvested lobster from Maine, accompanied by their signature Downeast Maine hospitality. Nationally known and locally owned, Cousins Maine Lobster partners with local entrepreneurs who want to bring the sweet succulent taste of Maine lobster to their neighborhood. Cousins Maine Lobster is a family business, and there is nothing more important than family.
This café has been made possible thanks to a $100,000 grant through the Suffolk County JumpStart program and the support of Former County Executive Steve Bellone, Suffolk County Legislator Stephanie Bontempi, and Huntington Supervisor Ed Smyth.
