AJ’s Famous Dirty Lobster
What does a man who has been born and raised in New England serve to 3 of the most influential guys in the culinary scene? NEW ENGLAND. DIRTY. LOBSTER. This dish is AJ’s rendition of Jasper White’s amazing Pan Roasted Lobster from the Summer Shack. My favorite part of this dish is the countless number of times that AJ has let the fire rip and perfected the balance of butter, herbs and “bite”. “Oh, Honey, you want to practice technique on a lobster dish infused with an herbaceous butter jus packed with a Jim Beam kick and need someone’s opion? Well, twist my arm and make it hurt:)” Tune in tonight and tomorrow night to find out what Gordon Ramsay, Joe Bastianich and Graham Elliot think of AJ’s signature dish!
