A Sandwich a Day: Lobster Roll from Scarborough Lobster in Maine
How fast can you make a U-y in the Serious Eats Ford? Pretty darn fast when lobster rolls are involved. Wheeee. We flipped around on Route 1 after passing the "Try Our Famous Lobsta Rolls $9.97" sign at Scarborough Lobster just south of Portland. We parked next to two boats and a truck in the small lot out front. That had to be a good sign.A Sandwich a Day: Lobster BLT from B&G Oysters in Boston
If you're gonna mess with two perfect concepts—lobster rolls and BLTs—this is the way to do it. Barbara Lynch's B.L.T. with Lobster ($28), a charter-menu classic at her chic South End raw bar, is one of those rare dishes that actually makes the concept of "fusion" seem appealing. Shucked lobster meat (cooked until perfect firm-tender doneness, of course) is heaped between slices of crusty ciabatta, along with crisp bacon, ripe red tomato slices, torn romaine, and a healthy slather of lemon juice-spiked Hellmann's.A Sandwich a Day: Lobster Roll from Logan Airport in Boston
If you have a lengthy layover at the Boston airport, conveniently around dinnertime, consider stopping at Boston Beer Works (especially if it's ridiculously close to your gate, as it was for me). The lobster roll ($17) is served on a New England style hot dog bun. Inside, there are large, sweet, meaty chunks of lobster meat. There was a mayo-based dressing, but only a pretty light touch with a slightly lemony flavor.17 Lobster Rolls We Love in the Northeast
We've had lobster rolls on the brain lately as you've probably noticed. It was finally time to develop a Lobster (Honor) Roll of our favorites in Maine, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York. Sure, there are some fine specimens elsewhere, but New England is arguably the motherland of lobster rolls, and we threw in a few NYC picks that can hold their own in the mix. Here are the 17 we picked! (Warning: NSFShellfish-allergic)The Food Lab: Reconsidering The Lobster (and Hot Buttered Lobster Rolls!)
Last week we took a look at New England-style lobster rolls. The cold, mayo-based lobster salad variety, that is. For most people, that's what a lobster roll is and always will be. But there are certain pockets of the population, mostly in Connecticut, that prefer their lobster rolls hot and buttered. In addition to a delicious recipe for that, we'll pause to read the late David Foster Wallace's essay "Consider The Lobster," and reflect upon lobster-killing ethics.A Sandwich a Day: Lobster Roll at Chatham Pier Fish Market, MA
There are any number of places on Cape Cod to get a lobster roll, but you really can't beat the fishing pier for freshness. The characteristically grey, shingled Chatham Fish and Lobster is just a few steps away from where the fishing boats dock with their catch each day; it's a fish market first and foremost, with huge tanks of lobsters and enticing displays of littlenecks and oysters and cod. But the prepared foods are why a casual visitor should stop by.The Food Lab: Wicked Good Lobster Rolls
A lobster roll consists of chunks of tender, sweet, cooked lobster meat barely napped in a thin coating of mayonnaise, all stuffed into a top-split, white-bread hot dog bun lightly toasted in butter. How do you make the best of such a simple creation? As with many things, it all comes down to attention to detail. Perfect selection and treatment of ingredients, balance, and above all, the ability to restrain yourself from over thinking. It's just a lobster roll, right?Lobster Roll Rumble: 18 Lobster Rolls in America
Anyone who has opinions about lobster rolls likely has passionate opinions about lobster rolls. Last night we attended Tasting Table's Lobster Roll Rumble event in Manhattan, where 18 different rolls from across the country went head to head (claw to claw?) for the title of best. They all followed the same formula of lobster plus roll, but went about it many different ways. Check out all 18 entries in the Rumble.A Sandwich a Day: Hot Lobster Roll at Neptune Oyster, Boston
The Lobster Roll ($25) at Neptune Oyster in Boston's North End is a spoiler. It will make you think twice about ordering other versions of this New England favorite.Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
