Buttered Lobster Tail with Truffle Oil Popcorn
We first had Buttered Lobster Tail with Truffle Oil Popcorn a great restaurant, The Muse in Kensington. What a fabulous combo!!! So easy and so elegant!! The flavors go so fantastically together plus you get the textures of the crunchy popcorn with the melt in your mouth lobster. I love this appetizer and I’m sure you will too!!
In my mind, there is nothing better than finding a great little treasure of a restaurant that makes you want to go back again and again! We had a recommendation from a friend that The Muse was a place to try and we were not disappointed!
Unfortunately, like many restaurants, it was closed and the space was taken over by a restaurant called Modern Steak. Now Modern steak has its own great reputation in town stay tuned, we may have something special for you from their fantastic menu!

Oh my word, Tara! How fabulous does this look?!!! I would never think to pair lobster and popcorn, but the combination is both simple and elegant! I can only imagine how wonderful this tastes! Your photos are so inviting! I have been craving lobster since seeing a recipe on the food network last week. And today, a coworker talked about a food truck fair in our area and one truck in particular that served lobster rolls. But I think THIS is the way to go! : )
