Ingredients

Fries

  • 3 pounds russet potatoes peeled (if desired) and sliced into thin 1/4-inch to 1/2 inch (thick) strips
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • kosher salt + pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh mixed herbs chopped (basil, parsley, oregano, cilantro, etc.)
  • 4 ears grilled corn kernels removed from the cob
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Lobster

Aged Havarti Cheese Sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Place the potatoes on a large baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, salt + pepper. Gently toss with your hands or two spatulas to evenly coat. Bake for 15-20 minutes, then flip and bake for 15-20 minutes more. You want the potatoes to be tender, but crisp. Remove from the oven and toss the hot fries with fresh herbs.
  • Set your grill, grill pan or skillet to medium-high heat.
  • Rub each lobster tail with olive oil and then place cut side down on the grill. Grill for 3-5 minutes or until light grill marks appear. Flip and continue cooking until the shells turn bright red, about 5 minutes. Remove the tails from the grill and let cool.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter over low heat. Add the garlic and cook 3-5 minutes until the garlic is golden and caramelized. Remove from the heat and the chili paste, honey and basil.
  • Remove the lobster from the shell dice it into bite size pieces. Drizzle the lobster with butter, you will have extra butter.
  • To make the cheese sauce, toss the shredded cheese with the cornstarch in a medium size sauce pan. Add the milk and set over low heat, cook stirring often until melted and smooth. Season with cayenne, salt and pepper. Keep warm
  • To assemble, divide the fries among plates and drizzle with cheese sauce. Add the lobster and grilled corn. Drizzle with a little more cheese sauce and then garnish with fresh basil and chives. Serve with any remaining chili honey butter. Eat!
