Lobster and Hot Dogs






We were planning to grill Hot Dogs. We really like the ones we pick up at The Cheese Store of Silverlake. They are called: Let’s Be Frank. Bea contacted us and was up for Grilling Lobster Tails. So we decided to combine the two and serve grilled Hot Dogs and Lobster (sort of a version of surf-n-turf).

It was a warm summer night and we started with drinks on the deck. We had eaten at Rivera and really liked a drink they served called: Rivera. It is made by crushing some cucumber in a glass, adding vodka, lime juice and simple syrup. Shake well over ice and sprinkle some salt on top. It is very refreshing.

We then proceeded to grill the hot dogs and lobster tails on the egg.

We started with a Summer Corn Salad. I stripped the corn kernels from some cobs we had previously grilled on the egg and added cherry tomatoes, avocado, chopped fresh tarragon and chives. We combined the corn mixture with a small amount of mixed greens and then added vinegar & olive oil. The salad was a winner!

I think that Bea really liked the Hot Dogs!
