Seafood favorite Lukes Lobster recently debuted its winter menu, and everything about it is comfort food perfected. There is lobster-specked mac n cheese and lobster bisque in a bread bowl, in addition to this sandwich packed with crustaceans.
Use mayo instead of butter for a golden crust, add pickled red onions for a vinegary bite, or turn it up to 11 by adding apples and caramelized onions to the mix. Oh, and that special seasoning? You might want to make a double batch to have on hand for all your flavoring needs.
