Lobster 4 Ways

Every year on my birthday, I go to my favorite restaurant in town – Company of the Cauldron. It is a little restaurant with two seatings each night and a set menu. (Which is my favorite part because I never have to try a decide what I want to eat…the food just comes!) And I have never once in all my years of going had a bad meal there…or even a mediocre meal. The meals are always to die for.

A few years ago, they started a tradition to serve Lobster 4 different ways every Monday. I would always look at the menu for Lobster 4 Ways and couldn’t wait until July 1^st was a Monday. The last time my birthday was on a Monday was 7 years ago and it was only until this year that my birthday fell on a Monday again and I could finally try Lobster 4 Ways! Needless to say, I was so excited.

First Way: Lobster Bisque with sweet sherry and fresh thyme

Second Way: Romaine salad with a Lobster Cake and buttermilk dressing

Third and Fourth Way: Steamed and Grilled Lobster tail and claw with two sauces (ginger mustard and tarragon butter), warm potato salad, and grilled summer squash

Dessert: Warm Cinnamon Brioche Donut with Tahitian Vanilla Ice Cream

Then, Chef All brought out a little something extra with a candle on top!

Blackberry Cheesecake with POP ROCKS…what a brilliant idea for a birthday cake!

Oh and Lobster shaped lollipops to go!

And as always, it was another to die for meal.
