Badass American sandwiches: The Lobster Roll

 

The Lobster Roll

Bread: Hot dog bun
Filling: Lobster tail
Sauce: Drawn butter, lemon and ground pepper
Origin: 1920s’ New England

While some versions mix in mayonnaise, I think using drawn butter displays the sweet lobster meat much better. Stuffed in a basic hot dog bun with a bit of lemon juice, salt and pepper is the best way to reward the hard work of New England’s lobster fishermen.

PAIR IT WITH
A light, malt-forward lager like the Camden Hells Lager is a perfect partner to the sweet flavour of the lobster meat. Some spicy hop notes and a dry, bitter finish provide the perfect cutting sensation for each bite.
