Food Truck Launch: Taste of New England to the shores of CA

Our Story – From the Coast of Maine to the Shores of California
I'm launching a Food Truck in Southern California to bring the taste of New England to the shores of Southern California. Lobsta Monsta has perfected the art of the Maine Lobster Roll and we're ready to take it to the streets, but we need your help.
We are testing the market with a mobile food truck in Newport Beach and then will expand from there.
I need to raise funds for a couple of items:
- Renting a Food Truck
- Wrapping the Food Truck
- Launch Supplies
When you support the campaign, you're pre-paying for a taste of lobster goodness and helping us get off the ground:
$20 = 1 roll
$40 = 2 rolls
$100= 6 rolls
As a supporter, you'll receive an invite to our launch party and get a taste of Lobsta Monsta before anyone else.
More About Our Story
Growing up on the coast of Maine, the air was fresh, the ocean was always near, and no summer was complete without a lobster roll in hand. Some of my favorite childhood memories are of long days spent with my parents and grandparents: swimming in the cold Atlantic, walking along the rocky beaches of Reid State Park, and ending the day with that simple, buttery, warm New England classic — the lobster roll.
When my family and I moved to Southern California, I brought those memories with me. But what I couldn’t bring was the flavor. I searched everywhere for something that even came close to what I grew up with — that authentic Maine lobster roll. But here in SoCal, it's almost impossible to find.
That’s when I knew we had to introduce the Lobster Roll to Southern California.
The Lobsta Monsta was born out of that longing — and that love. It’s more than a food truck. It’s a family business and experience! A way to pass this coastal tradition on to my own kids, and now, to share it with yours.
We’re bringing the taste of New England to the shores of California — starting with Newport Beach, Laguna, cruising through Huntington, and rolling up to Santa Monica, Malibu, and Santa Barbara. With fresh, buttery lobster rolls, creamy Monsta Mac, and Claw Chowda that’ll make your heart sing — we’re here to bring a little New England taste to the West Coast.
This is for everyone who’s never had the real thing — and everyone who misses it.
Your support helps us bring The Lobsta Monsta to life.
