Marc Murphy Classic: The Ditch Plains Lobster Roll

• 4 (1 1/4- to 1 1/2-pound) lobsters, or 2 pounds cooked lobster meat
• 2 cups dry white wine
• 3 celery ribs, roughly chopped, plus 1 cup finely diced celery
• 1 lemon, halved
• 1 onion, halved
• 3/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1/3 cup thinly sliced scallions
• 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon garlic confit
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
• kosher salt
• freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons (1 ounce) unsalted butter
• 4 potato hot dog buns
• Potato chips, for serving

1. If using whole lobsters: Place the lobsters in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes (this puts the lobsters to sleep and calms them down).
2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil with the wine, chopped celery ribs, lemon, and onion.
3. Working with one lobster at a time, in one decisive motion, plunge a chefs knife into and all the way through the lobsters head (so the head is halved).
4. Break down the lobster by removing the claws and the tail.
5. Repeat with the remaining lobsters.
6. Add the claws and tails to the boiling water.
7. The claws will cook in 6 to 7 minutes, and the tails will take 9 to 10 minutes.
8. Remove the lobster pieces from the boiling water as they are done and transfer to the ice bath to stop the cooking process and cool.
9. Once cool, crack the claws and tails and remove the meat.
10. Quarter the tail meat lengthwise and chop it.
11. Chop the claw meat into pieces the same size as the tail meat.
12. In a large bowl, combine the chopped lobster meat with the mayonnaise, diced celery, scallions, mustard, garlic, tarragon, and parsley, and mix until incorporated.
13. Season with the Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper.
14. Cover and refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour.
15. Heat a grill or preheat a grill pan over medium heat.
16. Right before serving, in a small pot, melt the butter over low heat.
17. Brush the inside of the hot dog buns with the melted butter and place them on the grill, buttered side down.
18. Grill the buns until well marked, 3 to 4 minutes.
19. Divide them among four plates and divide the lobster filling evenly.
20. Serve immediately with some potato chips on the side.
