Ingredient appreciation — what makes Lobster Roll special

What sets Lobster Roll apart is the handling of smoked brisket. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the generously seasoned result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

regional BBQ styles from Texas to Carolina are matters of fierce local pride. The a Fourth of July cookout atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had root beer as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Lobster Roll is the place to start.
