Lobster rolls are a cherished part of the culinary culture on the East coast with many different iterations and interpretations. Our version is based on the classic rendition: A simple buttery herb mixture tossed with cooked lobster piled into a hot dog bun. It’s wonderfully simple and wonderfully delicious.
