LOBSTER WITH BRANDY BUTTER
Probably one of my all-time favorite foods is lobster, and there is nothing like a whole lobster. There is savory meat throughout - the trick is to get it out! Since the most effective tools are your hands, it's a messy, but worthwhile, job! It is definitely not something I choose to eat when attempting to appear dainty or refined.

Steps:
- Fill two 10-quart pots halfway with water; heat to boiling.

- Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a heavy medium saucepan; discard shallots.
- Place pan over medium heat and whisk in butter, 1 piece at a time, blending first piece before adding next. Sauce should be thick and foamy. Season with salt and cover to keep warm.

- Place each lobster on cutting board and split lengthwise in half, cutting from underside with heavy sharp knife.
