KISSIMMEE, Fla. — A New England-inspired feast awaits at The Wharf at the Promenade at Sunset Walk.
Executive Chef Sean Marzan embraces the challenge of serving up a lobster roll that’s better than any you’ve ever had.
How?
“Simplicity at its best,” Marzan said, as he flashed a smile.
He lets the ingredients do the talking, like the garlic and cream cheese to dress the claw and knuckle lobster meat. He also uses sour cream instead of mayonnaise, yet another twist.
He has been pleased with the guests' reactions so far.
“When cooking for a guest, having that head nod and that smile when they take that first bite, that’s what we look for,” Marzan said.
Here's the recipe for you to try.
