They still do the whole ceremony with picking your lobster, putting on your bib, etc. Or, if you want a variation on that experience (maybe for his second lobster?) you could get it steamed at Schnucks and take it home and eat it there where you can be as sloppy as you want! A third possibility is to go to the Royal Chinese Barbecue on Olive and try a Lobster Pot (I recommend the one with ginger and scallions and vermicelli, though black beans is also a good sauce). You do get a whole lobster, though it arrives in pieces. The lobster is perfectly cooked, and the rest of the pot is fabulous. However, it might be best to wait for that until he's had experience with plain lob. Kiwi Carlisle [email removed]

They frequently offer specials on lobster, as well. And there is always Red Lobster - they ahve the lobsters in a tank in the reception room.
