You Shoulda Seen What He Did With The Oysters
Brooklyn special — lobster freshly fallen off the back of a truck:
A cook at Brooklyn’s famed Junior’s Restaurant was charged with larceny yesterday after co-workers caught him with 15 frozen lobster tails stuffed down his pants and into bandages around his legs, cops said.
Prep cook Raymundo Flores, 40, was spotted in a walk-in freezer by colleague Adam Marks, allegedly taking lobster tails and stuffing them under the bandages early Sunday afternoon. After Marks alerted co-worker Joe Hanson, both men stopped Flores and called 911.
Police arrived and found the 15 tails hidden on Flores, whom they arrested.
Authorities said that staff at Junior’s — where twin lobster tails sell for $29.95 — had recently noticed lobster tails missing from the freezer.
Many things come to mind . . .
1) Is there a market for stolen lobster? That seems dangerous. Especially in this heat.
2) Isn’t the suspect at risk for frostbite on some very delicate parts of the body?
3) Lobster at Junior’s is apparently frozen, not fresh; must stick to cheesecake.
