Lobsterlicious is back at Scaramouche, Mondays to Thursdays. $89 without wine.
If click on menus, there is a drop down menu that leads to the lobster.
There is also a lobster salad on the regular dinner menu.

Grilled lobster with beets?!?!? Why, god, why?!?!?

Because it is a quite frequent combination which works very well. You see it in French cooking with roasted beets flavors, there is even a recipe in the French Laundry cookbook with that combination

I love beets.
I would eat it. (I would use butter-poached lobster rather than grilled lobster, but they didn’t consult with me before setting the menu)
I would also eat an Olivye / Olivier made with lobster.
I think Scaramouche might be going after the Russian Splurge demographic, maybe also the Greco- Bohunk Splurge demographic (moi)

Not if beets were the last vegetable on earth. I eat them, but not not not with lobster. No… thank… you.

TorontoJo hates beets. Fickle hates carrots. I haven’t seen these Chowhounds for a long time and I yet I remember their dislikes.

I love beets and loved lobster when I used to eat it but can’t imagine the two in tandem.

Forgot we had this thread. Perhaps it might be a good idea to “pin” limited-time events thread to the top of the list? A one-stop-shop for current events. I’d vote for that.

Available at Burger Jabs this week.
It’s Good Friday on Friday, and fish is what many Catholics and some Protestants eat on Fridays during Lent, and especially on Good Friday.
The Filet o’Fish was created by McD’s franchisee in Ohio, to offer local Catholics an option they could eat during Lent.
Hot Cross Buns (HXB, HCB) are also traditionally eaten on Good Friday. The idea of eating egg -enriched breads, like HXB and Easter Bread, and the other Easter Egg and Easter Bunny symbolism, is to celebrate spring, renewal, and fertility, tying some Pagan themes into Easter celebrations.
Blackbird is posting about their Not Cross Buns which have no cross on top to make their buns more secular, I guess .
I don’t like orange zest so I won’t bother with their Not Cross Buns.
I will post if I see other HXB and Fried Fish Sandos on Instagram.
Honest Weight keeps a nice fried fish sando on their menu all year.
Dough Bake Shop on Danforth always had good Easter baked goods.
