Will you be there in time for lobster season

I sure hope so.. that tummy is loud

I will gladly assist Captain Jeff in a taste testing session of lobsters from around the world, but my preference will probably be a good ole juicy Maine lobster. Grilled and "kicked up"(think Emeril) with seasoned butter.

Kicked up: minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, dash of salt, dash of Worchestershire sauce, dash of red pepper flakes, couple T of chopped fresh parsley - all in melted butter. Try this on the grill - to die for!
