On days like today, we can't help but think of weekends in Maine.
And when we think of Maine, naturally, our minds swim toward fresh lobster rolls.
Which brings us to our quest for the perfect summer staple: meet The Langoustine Roll, served exclusively at Park Avenue Summer. Known around the world as Norway lobster, Dublin Bay prawn, or simply scampi, langoustine is a lobster lover's dream. Done right, it is sweet and succulent, like summer corn.
To appreciate its delicate flavors and all-around awesomeness, the very talented chef Craig Koketsu serves it gently-poached, dotted with a singular drop of roasted tomato sauce. The langoustines are then placed on a fresh Parker House roll layered with tarragon mayonnaise and plated with lotus root chips.
Of course, you'll still have to head north - to the Upper East Side - to score this handheld thing of beauty.
But that's a small price to pay for the the most luscious crustacean sandwich in town...
