I almost scanned this to send you!! So delightful to see this beautiful sandwich in Food & Wine as well as a snap of my favorite chef. What a glorious memory. You have been part of my food life from the very beginning. 😘
OMG. And I thought a lobster roll was heaven. My personalized southern version of this sandwich would be to use Amish grown cherokee purple heirloom tomato slices with my Mother's recipe of homemade mayonaisse. However, a friend of mine just brought me a few of his homegrown roma tomatoes which are as big as a softball, so I may just make your version. I recently purchased an original STAR's menu on ebay. It is now framed in red and sits on the back wall of my bar. Keep up the good work, J.T. DG
Of course homemade mayonnaise is in a different class. But for a magazine I used the commerical one. As for the meny, framed and on the bar wall, I am impressed and complimented.
So pleased to have this recipe. I lived part time in the south of France for 15 years, so fully appreciate the flavours of France that are part of this fabulous sandwich. I miss a variety of tomato, La Cornue?? Perhaps….. that are incredibly meaty with few seeds and are perfect simply sliced for a sandwich —- and while I have tried every store bought form of mayo, I am a Best Food’s baby and was thrilled to see that it was being sold in the supermarkets of France (and costing the same as it costs in CA). But the one thing I would not substitute is the chervil…. That delicate leaf, that somewhat fennel-like taste… or anise…. It is so light, so delicious, so mysterious —- luckily I live in a very agricultural area of CA..Ventura County — ojai… and almost everything is grown and sold at the various farmers markets…. Lovely to hear that you living well, and loving your life. And thank you for the recipe

And thank you for still being part of mine!
What a warm and wonderful story by Andee - good memories of Stars and those days in San Francisco.
Thank you Georgeanne!
Good heavens, what a sumptuous sandwich. ♥️ A gift to share this. Thank you.
Thank, you Dany!

I usually use Hellmans. The Star's menu "ties the room together!"

Lucky you living there! I hear that Best Foods and Hellman's are the same, but not sure about that. Can always make your own! Very best, Jeremiah
Where would you source fresh lobster in San Francisco?
Sorry but have not livwed there for several years. In NYC a few years ago I got perfect lobster from https://www.freshdirect.com/
A sumptuous sandwich as elegant as the Chef himself.
Thank you, Angela, for this elegant remark!
