NORWALK – SoNo 1420 has teamed up with new food service partner LobsterCraft food truck for its Thursday-Saturday operations and events.
The 6-year-old maritime distillery located at 19 Day St. continues to evolve with added events and entertainment (Acoustic SoNo series, live jazz, mixology classes, distillery tours and tastings), and has now added food service.
LobsterCraft began as a Norwalk-based local food truck business in 2012, spearheaded by U.S. Coast Guard Capt. Mike Harden, who is also a licensed lobster fisherman in Norwalk. The brand quickly filled a void in the Connecticut culinary/catering landscape by offering lobster rolls and expanded with food trucks and catering throughout the Northeast.
Today, LobsterCraft operates primarily as a catering company. Their new home at SoNo 1420 Distillery will offer LobsterCraft fans a permanent location from which to enjoy their favorite lobster rolls all year round, along with new menu items featuring meats sourced from Darien Butcher Shop.
LobsterCraft’s menu includes signature lobster rolls such as the Coastal Roll (hot buttered lobster on a toasted bun), the Heatwave (hot butter infused with habanero and serrano peppers), and the Dirty Maynard (cold lobster with seasoned mayo and mirepoix). There is also the DBS Burger (a blend of chuck, brisket, and short rib) with manchego cheese and bacon and onion jam, SeaSmoke Pulled Pork with cheddar and pickles, a blackened chicken sandwich with cheddar, avocado, and hot chili oil, a grilled mushroom burger topped with mozzarella, roasted red peppers, arugula, and basil mayo, and LobsterCraft’s popular Mac-n-Cheese.
The SoNo 1420 Tasting Room is open on Thursday and Friday from 5 p.m.-9 Â p.m., and on Saturday from 2 p.m.-9 p.m., with Sunday hours to be announced soon.
