NEWSCENTER 5’S TED WAYMAN
REPORTS FROM ORLEANS.
TED: IT HAS BEEN A TOUGH SUMMER
FOR RESTAURANTS ON THE CAPE.
SEVEN RESTAURANTS HERE HAVE HAD
TO CLOSE DUE TO COVID-19.
AROUND HERE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE
TALKING ABOUT THE LOBSTER CLAW.
NOT BECAUSE OF COVID-19 BUT
BECAUSE IT IS CLOSING AFTER 51
YEARS.
IF YOU’VE EVER DRIVEN ON SIX A
IN ORLEANS.
ITS HARD TO MISS.
THE RED BARN AND GOLDEN LOBSTER
HAVE BEEN HERE SINCE MOST PEOPLE
CAN REMEMBER.
>> IT IS TIME TO RETIRE, I’VE
HAD 51 GREAT YEARS.
TED: DON BERIG AND HIS FAMIL
HAVE BEEN HOSTING, SEATING,
COOKING, AND CLEANING SINCE
1969.
AND NOW ITS TIME TO DO SOMETHING
ELSE BUT ITS THE PEOPLE HE WILL
MISS MOST.
>> MY HOSTESS HAS BEEN HERE 50
YEARS, SOME OF THE WAITRESSES
HAVE BEEN HERE 20-YEARS.
TED: IN ITS HEYDAY THE LOBSTER
CLAW FED MORE THAN 500 A DAY.
ITS STILL A LAND MARK.
STILL A FAVOR, JUST ASK SUE WHO
CAME HERE WHEN SHE HEARD IT WAS
CLOSING.
>> MY DAUGHTER AND I CAME HERE
FROM CONNECTICUT TO COME HERE
AND EAT AS ONE OF OUR LOST
MEMORIES.
TED: IT HAS BEEN QUITE A RUN.
YOU WILL HAVE SEPTEMBER 13 TWO
ENJOYED FRIED CLAMS AND LOBSTER
AT THE CLOCK.

THIS.
IT WAS ALWAYS PRESSURE OF THE

IF YOU SCREW UP IN THE
RESTAURANT, YOU COOK THEM A NEW
MEAL.
TED: IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR DON

SOMETHING THEY HAVE NOT DONE
REGULARLY SINCE THE 19 EXCEEDS.
