Maine Lobster Challenge Miami 

The absolute best part of the internet is showcased in this video: a lobster fisherman from Maine is getting recognized by people thousands of miles away in Miami because of posts on YT/tik tok/Insta that somehow have a positive impact on their lives. Very wholesome.

"It's good if you're really hungry," is a very polite way of saying it tastes terrible.

"They nailed it, perfect, tastes like home" Love how it takes the finest lobster to match your regular. 😅

I love how authentic you are. Please stay true to yourself no matter what happens in life.

Its good to see you and your dad spending time together precious time.

Shout out to the young man, who recognized you from RU-vid. We like our food folks to be excited about life!

My husband is a SCUBA diver here in New Jersey. We, too, have “Maine” lobster. They would dive a shipwreck, catch some lobsters and/or scallops. It didn’t matter when he got back in, it could’ve been 2 :00 am, my mother in law would get up and cook up the lobster and feast on super fresh lobster. We also went to a wedding of one of the dive boat captains. Surf and turf was on the menu and the surf, a.k.a. the lobsters, were caught by the dive captain and his buddies for the reception.

Hey, Red Lobster, a real Maine Lobsterman saying, "The texture is different than I am used to." is the equivalent of Grandma from Alabama saying, "Bless your heart." when she drinks terrible sweet tea.

What a fun video!! So happy your dad could come with you!!

You had me at two lobster fisherman on a ferris wheel. Wholesome channel, thanks!

Omg I love you having your dad along for this experience! Seems like yall have a really great relationship and that's so awesome. This was a super fun video idea, keep up the great work!

That taco looked incredible

So odd seeing him on land with regular clothes

As a Mainer who doesn't like lobster, this channel makes me so happy. I will never partake in your wares, but your commitment to sustainable fishing and personality won me over. Please never stop making these videos.

Probably the only time someone has worn a hoodie in Hell’s Kitchen! Love it!!

I have a feeling that 'Gordon Ramsey' is gonna be reaching out to Jacob and his Dad for a good ole' lobster cookout in Maine. I love this show!!

As a New Englander, I’ve tried explaining to my inland friends that for us lobster is ‘special’ but not necessarily ‘fancy’. It is a little expensive so it’s a special occasion affair, but it’s much better eaten at a family cookout making a big mess than at a nice restaurant

Omg I can't even with your dad. He kills me. Such a cutie! Love your content, Jacob; thank you for sharing this life and giving those of us who'd never known otherwise a glimpse into the life!

Love your dad! I would not eat while on a ride! But that’s just me!!🦞🤢

Jacob, as a fellow Mainer, just wanted to tell you how much we love you! I think there's a lot of people who really don't know much at all about Maine. You represent our beautiful State very well. I'm so proud of your achievements. You deserve only the BEST of everything. It was great to "meet" your dad, too!

You guys are killing it with these on-the-road videos. They're very well made and engaging from start to finish, I'm enjoying the hell out of them. Thanks for all the time and effort!

Love your show. Just wish when handing your dad the food you would have said “let’s give him a snack”. Lol. This was fun to watch.

Thank ya for bringing us along. Beautiful family bro. Safe travels🙏❤️🫡

Idk about you guys but Jacob inspires me to create content the man is so pure and humble. Jacob If you somehow read this thanks man I recently watched some of your vids with my Father and it was one of the first times we've been able to chill and talk like normal humans in years and he is a vice president of a construction company and I'm a college dropout working in kitchens. Anyways, Thanks man.

I'd say the lobster at Klaw was boat to table in under 36 hours. Those straight van trucks with the sleeper cabs hustle on the highway. Great video.

570 dollars to replicate something us New Englanders can assemble after a day on the water Except the king crab... we dont have that

Loved the video. It's way different from your usual, but I feel like it was true to the spirit of your content. Awesome job, and I'd love to see another one like this, at some point. 👍👍

I live in Miami. Learned about a lot of new restaurants. And I agree Maine lobster is the best. And I enjoyed this new type of content. Lot of fun!

Mainer here. I ❤️ lobster, have had the benefit and pleasure of eating Maine lobster all of my life. Unfortunately, i developed an allergy to shellfish about 5 years ago, and now have to enjoy watching people eat it. Man, I miss lobster!

I love when content creators take their family on the trips with them. Its so fun and wholesome. ❤

That is so amazing to see. Lots of fun and food.

this was so much fun. I was smiling all the way through

That lobster roll looked delicious! And being recognised so far from home was also fun to see! Nicely done!

I love lobster. I love macaroni and cheese, and I love a good grilled cheese. But there’s some things that just shouldn’t be mixed.

congratulations!! you are now officially an influencer as well as fisherman 😂🎉

Being recognized in Luke's must feel incredible. Your influence has reached so far and so wide

"AI Jacob in the thumbnail can't hurt you!" AI Jacob in the thumbnail:

Fun adventure with Dad! Glad you guys had a great time. Well done video!!!

Man i love this guy's channel🥹 he's so down to earth and I'm glad this lobster RU-vid channel is working out for him. He definitely deserves it 🫶 there aren't many nice people like Jacob and his family. Keep it up Jacob!

This is why we love you so! You are just who we see. You are yourself with your family, yourself with working and yourself in other environments. The young man that met you thought it was so cool..... and you were funny.... like... hey it's just me. Thank you for your down to earth nature and sharing all of this with us! God bless you and your family!

That lobster roll looked amazing!! As did the seafood platter at the end. I love seafood!

You probably caught those lobsters lol

I LOVE THIS CONTENT - WATCHING YOU AND YOU DAD HAVE FUN IS AWESOME!!!!!

I lived in Utah for 10 years. I worked for a local grocery chain, Dan's Foods. Being a from New England I know fresh, live Maine Lobsters 🦞. I would berate our fish monger when he would offer "Fresh Live Maine Lobsters" for sale. I kindly explained their was nothing FRESH about his Maine Lobsters. So many hours on the lobster boat, then to packing, to the shipper, to the airport, on a plane then to a distributor to a local grocery store. The sign soon changed to "Maine Lobster" sale😊😅😂

Live in S FL. Love your videos. Maine lobster is 1 MILLION times better than FL lobsters, but I appreciate your dedication as a lobster connoisseur:) Have fun in Miami 🎉🎉

Man, I swear to god you are one of my favorite people to watch hands down. You remind me so much of my father and the content you make is magnetizing.

Awesome job on this vid, Jacob. The editing alone deserves a chef kiss!

I didn’t think you could make as good of a video as the New Year’s Eve one but man this was great! Loved your dads honesty

I appreciate that the dad always watches and waits to see if he is gonna die before he is willing to take a bite.

Dude I’m from Maine and all my relatives are true Downeaster’s …. You are absolutely killing this. So excited for more!

Jacob, I love Maine lobster however, what I would pay for a fraction of your metabolism 😂😂😂 As always, really enjoy your channel! Keep'm coming!

I love your og posts, your lobster spa vids, but I'm loving these new vids of your life while on land. It's fun to see a simple man, with a camera, become a worldwide sensation. Keep being you, and we'll continue to be fans

I’m so happy you got recognized! I got all excited😂 but great video I love how humble you are!! ❤

I laugh I wish I could said my word correctly! Keep on with your success it was an honor to meet you and your father

The dude who recognize Jacob in the restaurant was awesome. Great energy.

Pls you looked uncomfortable being recognized. This was so cute and I loved the honest reviews from someone who knows best!

Somehow I didn’t even think about Red Lobster, but it’s cool that y’all stopped there while you were in Miami! The taco and lobster roll looked delicious!

Love this! Great editing so kudos to your team. Your dad is awesome. Would love to see him in the revisit of the life raft video haha😅

Good video, sirs

I love how the lobster fisherman haven't had lobster in such presentations yet a lot of us lay people have had almost all of them

Love seeing your dad!

I really enjoy watching every single one of your videos ❤. 😊

Risotto is creamy rice, not pasta...just an FYI. 😊

Love Pops and his reactions to the dishes

This is great! 😂 Love this father and son duo.

0:47 just seeing y’all both next to each other gets me so excited 😆 LETSGOOOO

Great content and trip! ❤️

It's nice to see YOU getting a snack and going back home for a change ❤ 😂 🌊🐟🦞

I'm so glad you got to go experience this. I'm hoping the support from the channel helped give you this experience. You've shown us such a different perspective, and parts of our everyday lives. I'm *so very glad* we were able to return the favor in our own small way!

Hey Jacob, your giggle and your laughter is so contagious 😂

Brother lobsterman i assure you the greatest dishes for lobsters exist right in our backyard. My uncle ran the tina marie out of hobsons in portland for years. Did stern work. Learned to urchin dive i'm a world class chef now. My lobster mac is the ambrosia of the gods.

Love this vid, thanks so much for sharing the day with all of us. 👏🏽😁💕

Jacob, you really know your lobster. The restaurant choices were chosen in perfect order. With the mother of Maine lobster and seafood wheel at a whopping $570. And the best experience of the day.

Jacob I worked for Red Lobster back in the early 90s and most lobsters are cooked in a shallow pan with water and then baked in an pizza oven at 550 till done. Guest may request the tails be steamed but most are cooked in the manner I spoke about. Absolutely enjoy your channel and stay safe out there with your crew , fair winds and calm sea's sir.

Love you here in Miami. Would have liked to see you eat some local fresh fish.

When I tell you I absolutely LOVE crab legs and lobster and could probably live off them I mean it 😂but I don’t get to eat them much so I’m not about to waste it and put it In other foods. Don’t get me wrong I would love to try lobster rolls, tacos and all the other stuff it’s in but when I get to eat lobster and crab which is not often I want just the lobster and crab meat 😂😂also I have always loved crab 🦀 more than lobster but that’s bc I’ve eaten a lot more crab than lobster but I love lobster too if it’s cooked right 😅. I love watching your videos ❤😊

Excellent video! Thank you very much. You, your Dad are wonderful real people!

Omg I'm so glad you're making more of these longer vids! Love your content man!

I like how pops uses Jacob as a food taster😂

I grew up in New England, and then when I met my husband and got married I moved to Florida so he could serve the military. For those 4 years I absolutely missed seafood. Compared to having grown up in the cold waters in the North, Florida had nothing on our shellfish or scale fish. So I just didn't eat seafood for the entire 4 years. First week of having moved back to New England where my ass belonged anyway (hated Florida in every way possible!) I had some nice fresh seafood and it hit me like a wave of happiness. Now that the hubby has lived here with me for over a decade he gets it, you just can't beat our seafood.

I love Jacob in his hoodie ❤❤❤ you are just the best.

Beautiful video, thanks for sharing! I love y'all's subdued reactions in the Ferris Wheel. 😁

I love your videos

I absolutely loved this video of you and your dad! All of the sampling across so many places have made me so hungry! lol thank you guys!

I love how dad waits to take a bite to see his son reaction lol

You hired a thumbnail guy and are on Best Ever Food Review! You made it big my guy 🎉

So fun to watch! Thanks for sharing!!!

I love your usual content but I have had such a great time watching your dad go on all these adventures with you! I vote for more content including your lovably cantankerous dad, because I adore him!😇❤️

You and your dad are such TEASERS! I'm literally salivating watching you guys eat the lobster which has been my FAVORITE "meaty food" since I was 10-years-old. And, I can only "afford" to eat it about once every five years! 😵‍💫😜😉😎.

I was living out of state for work and your accent and videos feel like a taste of home. Now I gotta try a lobster taco.

That last presentation made my mouth water. Yum yum yum!

I really enjoyed this whole vid. Plus I think it was so sweet your dad was with you.

I love your personality, very comical. I love that you also educate too. Thank you.

I love how you truly tried to be as kind as possible! You and your father are the sweetest! I love your videos and I have zero interest in crabbing. Haha. I’ve gotten my husband, sister, mom and dad watching you also! Hahahaha! Thanks for the info that you share ❤

- I'm only at the lobster taco 🌮 but I already absolutely LOVEEE THIS STYLE OF VIDEO FOR YOU TY TY TY

Thank you, Dad, for coming along. You warmed the heart of this Texan. You know your Lobster, and aren't afraid to call a dud a dud. For Tacos at home, you might have to order the Corn Tortillas, or just use flour tortillas or pita bread. The Seasoning for TexMex food is chili powder or chipoltle [smoked jalapeno], cumin and cilantro or ground corriander. No, subbing smoked paprica won't work. Go heavier on the Cumin than the chili powder and corriander/cilantro. The cilantro is optional since there is a genetic anomaly that makes cilantro taste like soap. Oh, the leaves are cilantro, the ground seeds are corriander. The pico de gallo is: Fresh chopped tomato, chopped onion, fresh chopped peppers [to your heat tolerance from bell, to anahiem, to jalapeno], all coated in lime juice. Oh, NO mayo. Salt and pepper to taste. You could take the tacos with you on the boat, just store the pico de gallo separately that you add before you eat. Personally, I've had a lot of tacos in my day, since I'm older than your dad. I thought the lobster taco had too much pico de gallo... that just made your taco sloppy and mushy; as you noticed: you couldn't taste the lobster. In any dish, the star of the show should shine, not be hidden behind the extras. Oh, Red Lobster is horrible. Everything they cook is loaded with MSG. No, the Spiny Lobster is a glorified shrimp compared to your Cadillac Maine Lobster. The same is true for South American Rock Lobster, which Red Lobster has served. Red Lobster doesnt steam; they put everything through ovens. They used to keep a tank of live lobsters and steam those when chosen, but what few restaurants are left in Texas, stopped that quite a few years ago. Glad you found a Good Lobster Roll in Miami, and thanks for supporting small business. That is why that shop is one of the best: they know what it's supposed to taste like, but that is radically different from the local cuisine. Cooking risotto is a little labor intensive, but nothing you can't handle. You stand there and stir for 20 minutes; adding a little broth now and again, to replace what the pasta absorbs. Dump some Old Bay into it, with a little home made Sea Food Stock, and you'll be pleased. Oh, you do need actual Risotto pasta for the best results. If you try plain pasta, it will go to mush; why yes Texans are not afraid to break the rules in a pinch and admit when they failed. And now you know: Expensive Lobster, outside of Maine, just means fresh and cooked like you do at home. Land Locked Texans can't get that down here. We had one vacation to Maine, and everything we tried was amazing. We even liked the joke that every small business sells lobster. JoeSchmoes Tire Repair... and lobster. Aunt May's Pie Shop... and lobster. We had a life long Mainer as our guide, so he knew where to go and what to do. We just didn't have enough time to do very much. Thank you, gentlemen, for a wonderful trip to share.

Love this man! Beautiful video with a great concept

This is really kewl to seeing you and your dad hanging out and trying new lobster ways of cooking it!!!

I love seeing u off the boat... great times with ur dad....very good!!

I really enjoyed this video! I enjoyed the interaction with your dad. I also agree with what someone else said: It takes the most expensive lobster in Florida to match the lobster that you pull right out of the water in Maine. Great content Jacob!👍🦀
