Look, I’m not going to lie to you: today has been one of the slowest days of the summer, news-wise. There hasn’t been nearly enough to satiate the news itch of a city of people who have spent the better part of the last two weeks wondering if a tree would crash through their home or if they’d be incinerated by huge plumes of flame shooting up from underneath the sidewalks.

But at least we now know what D.C. does get interested about in the absence of breaking news: lobster. Oh, man, the tweets about lobster. Today was the much anticipated debut of the Red Hook Lobster Truck, which we wrote about a couple of weeks ago.

Some of you may have had doubts that people would line up to purchase a $15 lobster roll from a food truck. Well, you were wrong.
