Steps:
- For the gravy: Sautee the onion, pepper and carrot in the butter in a saucepan until slightly caramelized. Add the garlic, salt, cayenne and white pepper and cook for 3 more minutes. Add flour and mix well, cooking for a few more minutes. Add Jagermeister and brandy and reduce slightly. Add lobster stock and bring to a boil. Cook at a gentle simmer for 20 minutes. Add cream and cook for an additional 15 minutes at a gentle simmer. Blend in batches and season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside until needed.
- For the poutine: Cook the lobster in a steamer, 11 minutes, or place lobster into salted boiling water and cook for 12 minutes once water returns to a boil. Meanwhile, cook your fries until crispy (we recommended cooking them twice in a fryer and allowing them to cool completely between cookings). Season fries with salt and pepper.
- Heat up the lobster gravy. (It is essential that the gravy is very hot so it melts the cheese curds.)
- Cut the lobster in half and remove the tamale (green stuff), then crack the claws and place on a large platter cut-side up with a gap in the middle. Pile up the hot, seasoned and crispy fries in the gap between the two lobster halves. Load on a generous serving of cheese curds and ladle on some steaming hot lobster gravy. Garnish with finely chopped chives. Serve immediately.

LOBSTER ROLL SANDWICH
There are many variations and styles of making this sandwich. According to Hell Chef, this represents Northeastern United States, where the most common version of this sandwich is served cold, although you can also find a warm version in which the lobster meat is drenched in drawn butter. And if you have potato hot dog buns better yet.

Steps:
- In a large pot, bring at least 1 gallon plus 1 quart (20c) water to a boil over high heat. Plunge in the lobsters, cover the pot, reduce the heat, and simmer for 6 to 7 minutes, depending on the size of the lobsters. Remove the lobsters with tongs and set them on rimmed baking sheets to cool. When they are cooled to room temperature, remove the meat from the claws and tails and rip it into large chunks (I do this with my hands; I don't chop it).
- Sprinkle the lemon juice, celery salt, and white pepper over the lobster. Fold in just enough mayonnaise to coat the meat and hold it together-not a lot. Put the lettuce leaf in the bun and top with the lobster mixture. Sprinkle parsley on top to garnish.

Tips:
- For the creamed lobster sandwich, use a high-quality, thick-cut white bread. This will help to hold up to the creamy lobster filling.
- Don't overcook the lobster. Lobster is a delicate seafood, and it can easily become tough if it is overcooked. Cook the lobster just until it is opaque and cooked through.
- Use a good quality cheese for the creamed lobster sandwich. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese will add a lot of flavor to the sandwich.
- For the lobster poutine, use a good quality poutine gravy. You can make your own poutine gravy, or you can use a store-bought gravy.
- Use fresh cheese curds for the lobster poutine. Fresh cheese curds will melt and stretch when they are heated, which will give the poutine a delicious, gooey texture.
- Top the lobster poutine with a generous amount of cooked lobster.
Conclusion:
Creamed hot lobster sandwich and lobster poutine are two delicious and easy-to-make recipes that are perfect for a special occasion or a casual meal. The creamed lobster sandwich is a classic New England dish, and the lobster poutine is a Canadian favorite. Both dishes are sure to please everyone at the table.
