Lobster Dog

I took this photo a couple months ago, working for a company called Bratworks as a food stylist and food photographer. It was a really fun job, but they had to cut back their ad budget, boo. Anyway, I still believe in Bratworks! If you live in southern California, they have several restaurants that you can visit. My ad man  boss who is also my friend, and I got to try a lot of the food while we were taking pics for them, and everything was delicious.

If you want to make your own version of this at home, here’s how: Get the best quality, nitrate free hot dogs you can afford, cook them in simmering water until hot, cook some lobster and chop it up. Make a simple tartar sauce dressing with ½ cup organic mayo, chopped sweet pickle, about 2 tbsp, a splash of white or red wine vinegar, 1 tbsp lemon juice, a tiny bit of celery salt, fresh ground pepper, you could also add some horseradish or cayenne if you like a bit of a kick. This would also be great with red cocktail sauce too. To assemble, start with a bun, which we toasted with butter, add some lettuce, then the hot dog, tartar sauce and then lobster, the more the merrier. Top it with chopped chives or scallions. Or just go to the Fashion Square Galleria food court in Sherman Oaks and order one there. Yum!
