The brand began a decade ago, when Jim Tselikis, who was living in Boston, went to visit his cousin Sabin Lomac in Los Angeles to catch up. “When we were reminiscing,” Tselikis says, “we realized that every time we were with our family, we would have lobster — live lobster, lobster rolls, lobster mac and cheese.” Tselikis was in sales and had no prior food or restaurant experience. Lomac had worked in more than 20 restaurants but was in real estate at the time. Nevertheless, they started to imagine a business in which they’d bring their cherished experience to people across the nation.
