INGREDIENTS
Main Components

Lobster claw/knuckle meat, cooked, cooled, chopped: 10-12 oz

Miracle whip: 2 Tbsp

Celery seed: ½ tsp

Lemon juice: ½ tsp

Chives: 2 tsp

Brioche bun, split, buttered, toasted: 2 ea

Russet potatoes, peeled, cut into fries, soaked over night in water: 2 – 3 ea

Malt Vinegar: 1 cup

Canola oil: Enough to fry

Old Bay: as needed

Salt & FGBP: t.t.

METHOD
Main Components

The night before, peel and cut your potatoes into French fries. Rinse in water a few times till the water begins to run clear. This removes a lot of the starch from the potatoes. Cover the potatoes with water and add 1 cup of malt vinegar. Let soak over night.

Fill a large pot 1/3 of the way with canola oil and put over high heat. You want to bring the oil up to 375 degrees for frying. If you have a table top fryer, even better use that.

While the oil is coming up to temperature drain the potatoes as thoroughly as possible.

In the meantime mix lobster meat, miracle whip, celery seed, lemon juice and chives together in a small mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper then refrigerate.

In small batches cook your French fries until they are golden brown, should be 3-4 minutes.

Once they are golden and crispy transfer them using a spider or mesh strainer into a metal bowl with a paper towel in the bottom to soak up any grease. Season the fries generously with Old Bay seasoning and toss to evenly coat. The paper towel will get dirty just remove it between seasoning batches and replace with a fresh one to soak up and grease. This will give us deliciously crispy French fries.

NOTE: Let the oil cool down fully before disposing of it.

Split you brioche buns and smear with soft butter. Toast in a non stick pan over medium heat until they are golden brown and warm.

Divide the lobster meat mix evenly between the two buns and serve with a side of old bay fries for a fantastic summer meal that has all the right ingredients and textures. I personally cannot think of a better meal to wash down with a Allagash White beer or Blue Moon if you don’t have access to Allagash,

Divide the lobster salad mix evenly between two pieces of toast and top with a piece or two of bibb lettuce for a nice and refreshing crunch.

INGREDIENTS
Main Components

Lobster claw/knuckle meat, cooked, cooled, chopped: 2 oz

Avocado, sliced: ½ ea

Soft boiled egg: 2 ea

Rye bread, toasted: 2 slices

Paprika: as needed

Salt & FGBP: t.t.

METHOD
Main Components

Add eggs to a small pot and cover with cold water.

Place the pan over high heat and bring up to a boil. Once the water boils, turn off the heat and let sit for 3 minutes.

Transfer the eggs to ice water and cool.

Remove the shells from the egg carefully to ensure the eggs stay whole.

Place your rye bread in the toasted and toast.

Half an avocado and carefully slice the inside down to the skin and remove with a spoon.

Once the bread is toasted smear with avocado.

Top each slice with an ounce of lobster meat and season with salt, generous amount of fresh ground black pepper and a little paprika.

I personally like to now run the soft boiled egg under warm water to warm them up a little.

Split the eggs in half and top each toast slice with 1 egg. The yolk will be slightly runny still and you will def need a fork and knife for this breakfast of champions.

INGREDIENTS

Main Components

Lobster claw/knuckle meat, cooked, chopped: 4 oz

Cabbage kimchi: ½ cup

Cooked rice, day old, cooled: 1 ½ cups

Scallions, chopped: 2 ea + 1 sliced on a bias for garnish

Garlic, minced: 2 cloves

Yellow onion, minced: ¼ cup

Egg: 4 ea

Soy Sauce: 1 tsp

Korean chili powder, also known as kochukaru: 1/8 tsp

Salt & FGBP: t.t.

METHOD

Main Components

Heat a 2 Tbsp of canola or peanut oil in a large non-stick pan over high heat.

Add in onions, garlic, scallions with a pinch of salt and sweat until they become aromatic and develop a little golden brown color.

Add in rice now and toss together. You want the rice to heat through and also start to get a little golden brown color as well. This should take around 5 minutes. After 3 minutes of cooking though add in your lobster meat and cool until warm.

Transfer the rice into 2 bowls.

Wipe the pan clean, add 2 Tbsp of oil to it and return it to medium-high heat.

Crack your eggs into two small bowls. Add 2 eggs at a time to the pan and cook over easy, until the whites are just set and the yolk is still runny.

Top each pile of rice with 2 eggs. Add ¼ cup of kimchi topped with bias cut scallions to each bowl as well.

Season the cooked eggs with a strip of Korean chili powder and serve immediately.

INGREDIENTS

Main Components

Lobster claw/knuckle meat, cooked, chopped: 6 oz

Asparagus, trimmed, peeled, blanched: ½ bunch

Soft boiled egg: 3 ea

Corn, pan roasted: 2 ears

Bacon, cooked, crumbled: ¼ cup (OPTIONAL)

Spinach, washed: 4 cups

Olive oil: 2 Tbsp

White wine vinegar: 2 Tbsp

Salt & FGBP: t.t.

METHOD

Main Components

Bring a large pot of heavily salted, and I mean heavily, water to a boil.

Drop in your corn on the cob for 20 – 30 seconds until it becomes more vibrant in color. Remove from the water and set aside.

Snap the base ends off the asparagus and peel. The bases will break off naturally where they are too tough so this is a good guide line. Drop asparagus into the boiling water and cook until bright green and tender. 45 – 60 seconds. Remove and cool in ice water.

Remove the corn from the cob. Heat a small sauté pan over high heat with 1 Tbsp of oil. Once the pan is really hot add in the corn and toss to develop nice dark caramelization. Remove the corn from the pan and let come down to room temp.

Add eggs to a small pot and cover with cold water.

Place the pan over high heat and bring up to a boil. Once the water boils, turn off the heat and let sit for 3 minutes.

Transfer the eggs to ice water and cool.

Remove the shells from the egg carefully to ensure the eggs stay whole.

In a large mixing bowl combine all ingredients besides the egg and asparagus.

Season with salt and fresh ground black pepper.

Divide into two bowls.

Split the eggs and add 3 halves to each bowl

Top with asparagus spears and bacon crumble if using it.
