NEW ‘TWIST’ ON LOBSTER: There’s a new way to enjoy lobster in Huntington, and it can be found at Twisted Vine Cocktails & Cuisine (24 Clinton Ave., Huntington 631-549-5555 www.twistedvinecuisine.com). The Lobster BLT Sliders ($12) remind us of a lobster roll, but the lobster is served on two mini brioche sandwich buns instead of on a top-loading bun. Twisted Vine gives its own take on the classic and adds bacon pieces, heirloom tomatoes, and organic mesclun greens. It’s a little something different for a tiny taste of New England.

MAKES ‘CENTS’ TO US: Jake’s Wayback Burgers (1964 Jericho Turnpike, East Northport, 631-864-5555 www.WaybackBurgers.com) is joining thousands of restaurants to support Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry campaign. For the entire month of September, Jake’s will donate 25 cents for every new Facebook “Like” on its fan page. And when a customer donates a dollar to support No Kid Hungry, they will receive a Wayback Buck (monetary value $1) Yes, we’ll take that burger with a side of generosity, thank you very much.
