Beverly and Churk Lui fancy themselves as lobster connoisseurs.

So when the Lake Harmony couple spotted a reddish-colored lobster food truck Friday morning on their travels along Route 443 in Mahoning Township, their interests were piqued enough to try it out.

The couple ended up as the first customers at the 1.1-acre plot between Tractor Supply Co. and Times News Media Group along Blakeslee Blvd Drive West that on Friday began to host food trucks.

“We like lobster, so we said today’s the first day, so let’s try it,” Beverly Lui said.

The couple purchased lobster rolls, lobster mac and cheese, and lobster bisque from the Wicked Pissah Lobster Company food truck.

Michelle Moshey, who owns the Wicked Pissah Lobster Company food truck that she and her husband, JP Moshey run, were pleased to park their food truck at a new destination.

“We’re very excited to be here,” Michelle Moshey said. “It brings us out of our local (Dallas, Luzerne County) area.”

Michelle said their food is made with real, authentic Maine lobster. The menu includes lobster rolls, shrimp rolls, crab cake rolls, lobster pie, lobster bisque, lobster mac and cheese, popcorn shrimp, clam chowder and desserts.

While seafood — specifically lobster — is naturally their bread and butter, so to speak, Michelle noted they also make nonseafood treats as well.

“For those who are not seafood eaters, we also have our award-winning chili dogs,” she said. “We also have pulled pork sandwiches.”

Wicked Pissah Lobster Company, along with K2 Creamery (Harrisburg), which specializes in spirit (liquor) infused ice cream, were the first two food trucks to open at the brand-new site, according to Brad Christman, who owns the plot.

Christman noted that they’re still working on getting other food trucks in at the small tract of land, with Buns On The Go set to be there on May 8 and June 27.

“We’re working with a couple others; it’s just starting,” Christman said. “We’re putting together hopefully a good schedule.”

A “Now Open” sign greeted customers on the front yard of the plot, said Christman, who added that they were dressing up the rear of the property for potentially some parties in the future.

“It’s been a long road, started in 2021 for the whole project,” he said. “We’re happy that we are at this point in the project and people are starting to show up.”

The design is for five food trucks with 25 parking spaces. The grass areas are to allow for several picnic tables.

Christman, who lives in the Mahoning Valley, also owns the Ateira’s on First building on First Street in Lehighton.
