Lobster rolls are a luxury. This simple sandwich is an example of pure decadence. Succulent chunks of lobster are mixed with chives, lemon juice and mayonnaise before it piled high into a buttered roll with fresh basil and lettuce. I know lobster is pricey so save this meal for a special summer occasion. It is best enjoyed on the beach with a beer and potato chips.
