Dinner with Lobbies

Nothing screams Summer Dining louder - or with more bite (or pinch) - than a Memorial Weekend table swarming with good friends, colossal crustaceans, pots of melted butter, tangy coleslaw, smashed potatoes pan-roasted in duck fat and an army of red and rose wines. Cafe Drake crammed ourselves with all this and more (Devils on Horseback, aged cheddar and runny, gooey cheeses, cool and pitch-perfect gazpacho, carrot cupcakes frosted with citrus-y cream cheese) at Jen and Ben's lobster feast. The sweet sweet sound of cracking claws and clinking, cheering glasses still rings happily in our ears!
