The chefs in the kitchen are at it again and this time they
have delivered something that is slightly off the beaten path of our
normal seafood selection. For a short time we will now have 7oz
grilled lobster tail on the menu. While you may say to yourself
"what's so different about 7oz grilled lobster tail?" keep
in mind that we are sticking with our summer theme of grilled, light,
and healthy. Our chefs are serving it over a plentiful offering of
sauteed arugula and grape tomato, surrounded by mini potato gnocchi
in saffron butter.
While not burdening down the flavor of the
main ingredients of this dish with heavy layers of spices, our chefs
are using saffron to add a delicate, yet eastern flair to our culinary
creation. Saffron is a very expensive spice that comes from the
eastern section of Asia. Usually described as having a slightly honey
and earthy taste to it, it is a delicate yet expensive spice, in which,
a very little goes a long way due to the intensity of flavor. The
peppery arugula, slightly honey saffron, and the sweetness of freshly
grilled lobster tail come together to create the perfect compliments to
each other. But don't take my word for it! Come down and see for
yourself when the strong flavors of the East meet the summer sampling
of the West.
Magnum's in Oakbrook had a TWO Pound lobster tail several years ago. Just a great memory. Too bad they're no longer in business. Wonder why?
