Bergdorfs Lobster Roll

Just because it's winter doesn't mean you can't hanker for a Maine lobster roll.

Bergdorfs' Holiday windows even show a crab roll-to-be.

une plateau de crustaces svp.

Does a fish roll exist?

Oh to be off swimming in nice warm caribbean waters.

Does her bodice look inspired by Alexander McQueens mussel corset?

Oh to just shake your lobster snowglobe.

And have Luke's Lobster truck show up in front of Bergdorfs.

Bergdorfs' blue lobster drove me down to Luke's storefront on 93 E. 7th street Saturday at 1:05 the joint was empty.

Naturally when my friend arrived 10 minutes later, the joint was jammed.

Natch we both got the lobster roll special for $17.

Everything comes from Maine including Miss Vickies chips and the ME soda pop. The roll has NO mayo only big hunks of very fresh Maine lobster and a bit of seasoned butter on a perfectly toasted bun.

For true authenticity you sit on lobsters while you eat.

Lobsters are all over this joint.

Please stop by Luke's Lobster truck on 5th Ave. & 59th st?

Adieu Maine

I'm hating to leave Maine just as much as you are :)

The last day of David Dewey's workshop is a half day spent close to his house so we can eat a farewell lunch together.

David's palette. However does he get such brilliant color with such a messy palette?

David demos and explains - the sliver of his shirt hanging out just happens to match the yellow-green in his painting. Maybe if I wore more color?

We get the crit before we eat lunch today.

Everyone side-by-side.

LUNCH and what I ate:

Watermelon Salad with Mint Leaves

1 (5-pound) watermelon
1 Vidalia or other sweet onion
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
6 whole mint sprigs
