lobsterrollreview. matt storch is known for creative riffs on standard fare. but his take on the simple, unpretentious lobster roll? to our delight, storch doesn't outkick his coverage. his rendition is a heartfelt homage to the classical clr he grew up with along the shore: a quarter pound of chopped lobster, slowly warmed in butter, ready for a spritz of lemon. his lone tweak: the bun. it’s a sturdy, top-cut pretzel roll, salty and nuanced with umami flavors, but also built to soak up any excess butter without getting soggy (arollproblem that was fairly common at some of our stops. when buttering meat destined for a thin, hot dog bun, drizzle actually works better than drench) the playful plating promises a picnic. just gaze at the colors and shapes on the plate: the warm, reddish hues of glistening lobster heaped high in the golden pretzel bun, the sea-green stack of citrus slaw, and a “bag o’ home made chips” burnished barbecue brown. you can’t help but grin. and salivate. tip: during the summer, storch also serves a higher end clr at match, his flagship in norwalk.
