The move comes after the Lobster Shack — which serves what famed chef and TV host Bobby Flay calls "his favorite lobster rolls"—failed to reach terms on a new lease with landlord Skip Birbarie, owner of the adjacent Birbarie Marine Yard, said Nick Crismale, who owns the Lobster Shack with his wife.
Crismale said he has an agreement to buy the closed Beachhead, which overlooks both Long Island Sound in front and the Bradford Preserve lagoon and wetlands in the rear.
